I won't have a full 4 months worth until after November, so I don't have a PBP update yet.

But for October, I have 12,768 miles including layover. 8.17 mpg.

By my own calculations, my 4 month stats should be close to 12,173 average miles at the end of November. At this point in time, as long as I get at least 1000 more miles by the end of November I'll average at least 11,500 for sure. I don't think that will be a problem. I anticipate making the .50 cpm tier. Unless I'm overlooking something.

 

I can't wait til we meet up and he pays my bar tab

 

Wonder what the problem is... dispatch, equipment, the loads, receivers, the other drivers doing good or the shippers??
Or you the driver?
Just curious.... I have made as 'little' as.40 cpm and now, as much as .50. I am usually clearly not a top performer... cause I value my home time but I planned my pay at .40.... everything else is a bonus. I keep my expectations low and acceptance high. And I walk around with a smile 99% of the time.....
But I ain't everybody and everybody ain't me......

 

Well, I have proven more than once that they can put me on the tough loads back to back and they get done...my biggest issue is with inbound loads, that and these ####ed up customers that can't take their head out of their ### long enough to unload a truck in one shift. As for hometime, I will probably have 325 days out this year...and as of the end of October, I haven't even broke 100k in odometer miles. As it stands now, I may have to cash out my vacation time just to have enough cash to file bankruptcy.

 

I'm getting loaded in University park right now. My light turned green and I went to collect my paperwork. I sat in the office for about 20 min waiting. They seemed to be in disarray. Then a guy comes over to me...

"dude, I've got some bad news for you..."
"what's that?"
"We forgot to load an item on your trailer, so we need to add it now"
"Ok, that's not a problem, I'm in no rush to leave"
"See, the problem is we aren't sure where this thing is at. And when we do get it, it needs to go in the nose of the trailer. We can't send the load without it. If you want, you can go take a nap and we'll have someone come get you when we're finished"
"Sounds good"

All I'm doing is going to Pilot to get a 34 anyway... and I already know there won't be any parking there at this time of night lol

You gotta consider the positives of the situation!

 

That's right... collect all that detention money.

 

so you spend the night at the dock and then drive to the Pilot in the morning and start your 34 and Sunday afternoon you're ready to roll.
Sounds like a good plan, sigh

 

I wasn't talking to you. Your situation is your situation. Mine is mine. But you have to wonder why.... your experience is different... and why is it always someone else's fault?

 

Hope I don't need any lumper money at Mclane in Wisconsin. They didn't send any.
