You aint gonna believe this... Yet Another Ic Choice thread move over DFO!

No no i got out of the truck and closed the door and it locked. He had to pick the passenger lock to get me in. KW had a recall on defective door locks last year I'm guessing I got one of those defective locking mechanisms.

 

No my door is just busted everytime I get out it locks

 

So Im really starting to Enjoy this choice thing even with all the quirks. Had a bit of chaos today got to a pickup and found out that the shift went home with out finishing my trailer that was ready at 2330 on the 19th. It wasn't done and i wasn't waiting til the 22nd for them to come back. So at 930 i tried to call into the office to have my three preplanned loads pulled. At 950 i get a young lady in ops explain my situation and she agrees to pull 2 of my loads and put a load i found ahead of the last.

Only one problem the moment i gave her the load number someone must've stole it. At 956 i have my entire preplan gone and she tells me get to finding a load QUICK. So i spend the next 4 minutes power searching and settle on a load that is 215 miles away but will pretty much cover the three loads i had except about 450 of it. I can deal with that. I got the load assigned clicked refresh and got kicked out of the system i laughed nervously thinking how i just saved my week if i hadn't gotten that load assigned i wouldve lost a entire shift and probably wouldn't have recovered. I took a hit from losing those three loads but here are this weeks numbers minus total miles

2961 Gross
1269 Net

Overall not to bad a week considering i was off from Sunday til Friday pretty much Losing those loads cost me money but with the fuel i Likely would've purchased my net would've only been maybe 150 higher

 

As long as i finish in the green and bring home 700 i'm good. Thats what i lived on when i had a bad week at my last job. But my living costs were way higher. I can survive off less than 100 out of pocket a week used to be 200+ with gas and randomly eating out while working

 

Dang it's been 6 days already. I don't even know what I've done the past week. I made the mistake of working never again. Wait until you guys seen my garbage numbers for this week.

I've decided to fire atbs the 75 dollars isn't worth it I can use gauges and save hundreds. I'll do research through out the year to learn about deductions so I can also do my own taxes next year. I may actually attempt them this year but my accounting and receipt retention wasn't that great. I have a live load tomorrow at 1500 I'll be back on with numbers then.
