Stepping Out With My Own Numbers

This month did ok. The Volvo was down a whole week due to maintenance, Friday-Friday, and while he was home in AR recently, couldn’t roll that week either until Friday; lots of missed revenue. I was off 6 days at the beginning of the month. 69,365 revenue, 14.2% DH, 69,365 revenue, average loaded miles 601. I kept myself in the northeast all month, avg length of haul of only 412 miles this month.

 

Admin deleted it. I’m getting apps in already. One guy has bought a truck and wants to lease it to a carrier. My other guy has applied to several carriers. I’m getting apps in so I can find someone with enough experience. I’ll probably be filling both trucks within 6-8 weeks. One in 2-3 weeks. The other guy is trying to get on some of the local companies.

 

I was posting it here for people that follow me regularly. I have it posted in TenStreet and they push it out to several job boards. It’s a really good service. I figure the people that read this thread have learned what I’m about by now and would recommend it to someone they know.

 

While I was off all week, I was getting a lot of maintenance done. I got the Fleet Air Filter installed, did a bearing adjustment on all wheel ends using the Dr. Preload tool, had to replace turbo actuator, got the new Michelin Multi Energy Z2 steer tires, alignment, new bulkhead in reefer, and repaired the damage in the nose, and I got a DieselForce clean done.
The turbo actuator has been leaking coolant a lot lately was the reason there. I was getting an intermittent engine code for reduced EGR flow because the EGR cooler was getting clogged, so I got the DieselForce done. These new steers are a new product from Michelin, released in February, and are a better fit for what I do. It’s been months, but Fleet Air Filter finally has one for the LT, I sent them an air filter housing a while back to build it. And, the Dr. Preload is a great product. It’s a bearing adjustment tool and a highly recommend it.

 

One guy has applied to several local companies. The other guy has bought his own truck and has applied to a couple places. That’s part of it. When I was a dispatcher at two large companies it was the same way, truck drivers are never satisfied, grass is always greener, until they get there.
