On my way to houston from pa..then should reload back to dallas area to drop at wilmer or drop at customer and then go home..on pace for nearly 31850 this qtr…going to make the qtrly bonus again…

 

Idk but im on pace to put 133,000mi on this new truck..

 

@supersnackbar did they give you a decent run this weekend?

 

It should still put him comfortably into the "6 Figures Club". And yes, that is typical for mega guys at the top of the pay scale.

 

The deal with Tyson is because certain drivers don’t know how to deliver on time and Tyson has threatened to remove lanes. If not the entire contract… This is what I had a discussion with operations on with that load from Washington to Michigan. Was that just because others can’t do their job doesn’t mean I don’t know how to & they should go after the ones who are doing the screw ups and what not..

 

Well I delivered to restaurant Depot last night in Houston and I noticed marten transport has dedicated out of there so I talked to a couple of their drivers last night and the second one I talked to said they’re getting ready to lose the account and after talking to him a little bit more I can see why they’re losing the account. Marten has the guaranteed minimum pay on that account of $1250 a week so the drivers are only doing enough to make the minimum and not go over it and the guy said he runs 1200 to 1500 miles a week and that’s generally what most of them do. They’re only do three loads a week… He stated that there’s no sense in trying to make over the minimum… No wonder they’re losing the account to Bay and Bay they got drivers that don’t wanna work and I guess the customer’s had enough of it

 

I don't think I've ever asked, nor have I ever seen you comment on it - Do you have a preference for what shift you like driving/sleeping? Do you prefer driving nights or days? If you had a choice, what hours would you sleep everyday?

Also, at your age, how does your body do with flipping sleep schedules like reefer often requires? Do you think it's taken a toll on your body or are you used to it?
