    Well 1400.00 is a very good week!!! But you can rest assured that you will average over 800.00 a week on the bad ones.

    I thought about that, but then that means I loose .05 cents (I think). I'm willing to give it a try, might be a little tight.....We'll see.

    Yea you would loose .5 a mile with the larger truck. Plus alot of are loads up here are very heavy 45 to 46000 lbs so the lightweight trucks get the most frieght. Hence no shortage of loads for us. We or I at least don't sit long at all. Actually most of the time I'm pre-planned on the next load before I reach the reciever of the one I'm on. Like this one I'm on now outa Maine. I deliver in Bethlehem, PA tommorow then I know as soon as I drop it to grab an empty and head to Hazelton, Pa for a load going right back to Maine. So tommorow night I will be killing another 10 hour reset at the house. Then Saturday I drop it in Lewiston, Me then grab an empty and head to Easton, ME do a 10 hour up there. And start the loop again. It doesn't always work like that but for the most part thats my loop. Unless they snag me up and have me pedal the Walmart crap from store to store. Which outa Lewiston DC isn't bad, but if you fall into the Pottsville, PA DC walmart there blows hard and I hate it!!!!!!

    Thanks ORD!!!! Yea I'm enjoying it up here. I love the Maine runs. You get up above Bangor and you can go miles and miles without seeing another vehicle, its great.
