Stepping Out With My Own Numbers

this month had a strong start and that really helped. All it takes is one load to a location you maybe shouldn’t have gone and it can shoot you down for the month. This month, a lot of things fell in place and that usually doesn’t happen.

 

Today was really tough putting something together. There was a lot .98cpm and 1.00 a mile freight. I’m just not willing to do that. On “backhauls” I might drop down 1.28 but that’s my limit. I found a shorter run and a long to put together that will get my back in Kansas for 1.90 all miles and then get a load over there towards home to take care of a few things and start chipping away at February.

 

I’m usually off 4-8 days each month. I could be off more, but that’s not my goal right now.

 

that’s what I was running into. I’m going to be really Deep South in AL and that’s my problem. Everything out of there is right around 1.00 a mile. There were loads back to NJ, MD, and PA but even those were only paying 1.70s and it’s just not worth it. I got something put together, so it worked out. My guy at Merge is out today and I was on the phone for 4 hours today until I figured out a good plan.

 

Found an old picture of my grandad or Da as I called him one of his driving jobs was Midwestern Distribution.

 

He was an old Cajun guy. Joe for short, but his full name was Giuseppe DelBosque.

 

LoL, I found an old pic of me in a Freightliner he was driving.
