"Utilization"

You might've averaged 64 the whole way if not for going through Gary/Chicago

 

If you’re having these types of issues then you need to stop driving team period. It’s nearly possible for me to sleep in a moving truck so that’s why I don’t do it.

Also, you said “this account” so I figure you’re running some type of dedicated route. A customer can certainly lay down some type of expectations. If you don’t meet them it’s ok, you just have to stop working that account.

Also, have you literally told them you’re “sick and exhausted”. Anyone I dealt with at Swift would say you need to stop driving if you feel that way.

 

You have no recourse ... You're hired to do a job, you're not doing it.

 

Easily doable if you are running across the country... I average about 3700 miles a week, and almost always have time left on my 70.

Last week I ran over 4100 miles in 7 days... Idahofalls, ID-Lima, OH-West Chester, OH-Missoula, MT-Idahofalls, ID... I had 19 mins left on my 70 when I finished. 67 MPH truck.

 

If they refuse to understand what part of NO.. then they will understand when their semi is parked deep inside short term parking of a airport or amtrack that I just flew home or rode home on.

If I still want to run more loads will be a conversation we will have AFTER I am good and ready. Not a day before.

 

You'll run out of hours

You'll run out of hours before you make it to the 7th day.

 

no way all u have to do is average 60mph for 10 hrs thats very doable on the right lanes out west in a 65mph truck. you should be able to average 60-62 mph easily from west to midwest and back. as long u keep the left door shut
