Yeah, I've noticed a bit of a slow down as well. Last week was only 1500 miles, so you're not missing out on much when it averages out. I'll give em credit -- it does seem like the miles balance out here. A slow couple weeks usually seem to be followed up by some good weeks.

Have you been to Midwest lately? I haven't been there in a month or so now. There's been a handful of times where I'd get empty in STL or Edwardsville and sat around waiting on a load fir a few hours when I'd usually just be reloading Hershey. Wasn't sure if Hershey slowed down or just a coincidence I wasn't reloading there.

 

That's my fault, guys. Last Friday they gave me that Ogden Hershey run (1331 miles) then this 3 stop tater run out of Idaho Falls (1483 miles not including the 179 deadhead miles) and now I'm picking up another Hershey load in the a.m. headed to Temple for Sunday. Previous weeks have had me seemingly sit more than drive, so I guess they figured it was my turn to roll lmao.

 

I don't know how you pulled off Utah runs twice already, but I'm jealous. You seem to be pulling a lot of Temple loads to even it out though

 

Good luck on your run up there -- maybe they've finally finished up some of those turnpike work zones now that it's November. You got the short end of the stick with those few short hauls they had you on. At least it should be decent miles to PA and back as fast as you can run em

 

Made it to New Century at 01:00. Apparently something went astray cause they had me wait til 08:00 for them to clear out their warehouse a bit to unload. Reloading now for a load going to Kinloch on Monday morning. I'm dropping it at Craftsmen so I can keep moving and then I'm headed to Chester, SC for a Monday delivery. If it's the delivery I think it is, it's nothing but dunnage and was a 30 minute unload last time.

 

Welp, landlords kicked me out today. Told me to pack my isht and move on.
Move on into a new (to me) truck that is! Lol
Dropped 1190 today with 50xxxx miles on her, and moved into 1258. Only complaint about this truck is the automatic seat. Gonna take some getting used to the aired down seat whenever I hop in it. But the transmission on this thing....holy shart! Shifts like a pickup transmission with a shift kit. Holds gears longer when taking off, downshifts earlier without having to manipulate it with the jakes and pedal, pulls all the way thru the gears, and shifts so much quicker than the old truck. Even with the cruise on! So much happier now lol.
