A and A Express

300 trucks , owned by Road Runner ,, still operated by the original owners . Great Company. Leased on for 7 months. One terminal in Brandon , SD

 

I've been leased on since October

 

Oh hey sweet I might have seen you , I was there when a few people were getting into those , Hows it going for you? Are those auto shifts ?

 

Oh crap. Hate wal mart you should talk to Tim and get detention or layover or something. As it was Orv's fault . I leased ila 2013 Kenworth with a 13 speed so I'm with you on that. I've been out here for 22 years got divorced a couple years ago and got back in the game quit my linehaul job , spent most of 2014 working for truck movers delivering piggybacked sets. I had not been in reefers since 1995 when I left FFE, except for drop and hook on a linehaul. I always try to get into California because produce usually pays well especially AWG loads. One or two picks , drop and hook , pays 1.90 up usually to the truck . I don't know if I have ever found the best paying lanes here but I stick to Midwest and West because I got married again and I tried to get home as much as possible so my new wife doesn't run off on me LOL. I know that midwest to West will pay anywhere from a dollar 40 to a dollar 60 usually . I did really well in November and December and January, about 10,000 to 12,000 pretax net each month, but I've taken some time off here and there but had to get back in the groove again. I guess if you're willing to run all over to basically tell them you want to go with the best paying freight is lol . I do really well when I get a short 300 or so in between load, it's like extra gravy . I always call the next dispatcher in advance tell him when I'm delivering basically just find me the best load out of there

 

And if you have a Tuesday appointment and you can move it up to Monday always do it so that you get that chip in for the week

 

Ah crap. Yea they offered me E logs but I'm running on loose leaf. Tim's old-school I'm sure he will help you out. When I first called him last summer all he had was an old 2011 Freight Liner so I waited a few months till he sold his kenworths . Four years no balloon and I heard the volvos wree 36 months with a 45 k ballon . I just figure the truck will still be worth around 60 when I'm done so it's an equity investment . Find out if he's got some old ones left , I think road runner pushed those on him , the KW's are his
