Three years of own authority costs combined.

Get out of Cook County! bad place anyway.

 

I am in LAKE ...even worse

 

One of my friends said : " of course high taxes but ton of business opportunities and ways to make money , very good schools , extremely low crime rate , shopping literally walking distance , ton of different educational places/classes for the kids , all kinds of sport activities etc "
I was thinking to move out one day but not until kids done with school , all depends what you want in life and what kind of life style you chase .

 

you should just get up and leave, I know many people still thinking 5 years later, it took me 1 day to think about moving and listed my house in Cali and GTFO, within a week of selling I found a house, I paid for it moved in and never looked back.

 

Lol...did the same a year and half ago from San Diego to Texas except I was just renting there. I have family and friend ties in Texas. Know no one in Ohio but the Dallas area has gotten really expensive over the last 10 years

 

Can I do everything digitally or do I need a printer? I can write on and sign documents digitally. Can someone explain the load booking process through a broker after sending them a carrier packet.

 

If you do something requiring permits,then I’d say you need a printer, but for door slamming you can get by without one. I always like to have a plan B. I can run my printer from my phone if need be.
After you sign up with a broker it’s as simple as agreeing on a price, then they send a rate con and you sign it and send it back.

 

Wait a minute. On the other thread you claim no company drivers can make 100k a year, only owner Operators...

But now your asking these type questions? Ya got me confused....

 

One thing I remembered last night is BigRoad (my elog provider) has a "Create driver mileage and hours" report feature.

So, you can set the perimeters to include the dates you want. I created a report for all of 2019. What it showed was my days worked were 252.

However, that wouldn't reflect short days or days when I actually got home for the night.

The hours "onduty and driving" is an important feature to get a snapshot of the hourly rate to the truck.

Although not completely accurate, it does provide some perspective.
What my numbers showed was $106 an hour to the truck with and average of 6.5 hours onduty/driving days worked.

Again, not completely accurate, but close enough.

A couple of things I take away from last year:
1) I really am lazy
2) I did a heck of job maintaining a decent all miles rate with a dry van working the spot market only
3) I'm really happy I'm just a window licking door slammer.

My goal for this year is to maintain the same rpm average, but work a little harder LOL
