    When I was with the company, I started out with a ton of miles. Then it dwindled. Then it picked up again. Then it was kinda ok.

    This is par for the course. Utah was always a tough place to get out of.

    I have had good miles for the last several weeks, (2,200/2,400 out 11 home 3). I had my down miles in Jan. and Feb. when I had several 1,500 mile weeks. I am usually about out of hours when I reach Salt Lake and don't mind taking a reset there, havent been past the Missouri River in about 5 months, could be freight out that way in a little scarce. The last time i was out there I sat for three days, including my reset, and ended up pulling back a reefer (i'm van). Good luck getting rolling again.

    smiley dont worry, it depends on where you delivered, if its off the normal freight route it takes longer to come back in... tell em you want east of the rockies for awhile... so you dont get lost in the mix... miles will jump back up... also try less time out then a day at home... they will keep you busier when they know you have to get home...
     
    fancypants Thanks this.
