Current Earnings at a Mega

Yeah, that's what happened to me at JB unt Denver...I did a spreadsheet for when I was there: 1hr average, per day, of truck-breakdown time. Not worth inspecting 10 chassis in a day.

 

I'm not looking elsewhere for work (I already applied to 50 places September-December and only had 5 solids replies and only 2 good matches for me).

Rather, I'm pointing out what CAN be a legitimate (yet not so great) average or median for OTR at a mega. It could be ANY of the megas...the grass isn't greener on the other side...if I switched to another mega now I'd wind up 4 months down the road seeing the averages be the same.

The thing that really brings the average down is the two separate weeks I spent waiting for my truck to even be diagnosed by in-company mechanics...I think next time something needs repair on the truck I'll just "breakdown" in the middle of nowhere far away from a company terminal so an outside 3rd party mechanic shop can fix it in a day.

 

Remember, these are just averages...I will occasionally get a nice 2,600 mile week or a 70hr week, but so far they are few.

 

Awesome awesome. Yep, I'm getting in my OTR experience and then hoping to get into Cryogenic. $930/wk isn't much, but I pay no rent, no mortgage, no spouse, no kids, etc. No home to go to, but I do visit friends a lot. 11 of us went to Seattle Symphony, 13 of us went to Colorado Symphony, 4 of us went to New Mexico Philharmonic, had lunch with a friend in Sparks, NV, with my brother in Phx, AZ, with a friend in Portland, OR. That's home enough for me.
