ESTES Express (5 Year Review)

I’ve had a bunch of downtime and no where near 28k lol less then 20k lol

 

Oh! You’re out of Memphis? I’m out of Little Rock. Sounds good to hear you been doing well so far. I’m at $29,064 on the year thus far. Sounds good to be in the average. My co-driver and I were wondering if we were below average apparently not

 

I was like that my first year as a solo driver. What stopped it for me was Andrew, the dispatcher over parts of the Northeast. I was suppose to be heading home, but instead I was told to take a load to Boston, from West Middlesex. I called to asked to be dispatched on something taking me home, and I was told that if I didn’t take that load to Boston, I’d be written up.

I’ve not stayed out longer than 5/6 days since then. Besides, your first week out could be 3,800 miles, then 3,600 miles, then 3,500 miles, and lastly 3,400 miles... then you take a week off. That’s basically 2,860 miles/week. You can run that in 5 days, even 3,200 in five days, and be home 2 days every week.

Once I discovered the math, I decided this works better for me. When I began teaming, we both decided to only work 5 days, and stay off 2. We still average 2,900 - 3,100 miles each. So it’s not very bad.

 

Look at mr big $$$$$
