Pumpkin Pride Positive: Choice Program

It's under signature in profile I tried checking quote box, wouldn't work It's all good now TY

I asked the wrong question anyway it's the lil signature at the bottom I was curious about.

 

My settlement was a decent amount this week even though I was off for about 3 days,I sat on a load to get me to a better lane and work on truck(organize) which seems to be never ending, I've been concentrating on Kim C(light loads) getting the load out and back is kinda tricky.

Northeast has freight but not a good time right now(Irene) plus I prefer Midwest/Northwest. I will go anywhere that I can get out of,been working short runs in Texas but finding light loads is not so easy.


My access to settlement is limited since they are doing a rework of online tools and getting this "workflow" thing up an running that is going to make everything easier.

I do electronic deposit, so I think they will mail me my settlement or might have to wait for online to be ready not sure. I have been using an online tool called "mygauges" it is very helpful. When I get my settlement I will post some #'s K, so far I'm averaging 6.67 mpg, one run I had 7.20 I had a very light load 13K.


I would like anybody doing choice to comment in here about they're experience with it as long as it's within the rules of the moderators(positive side here) negative side waaaaayyy over yonder K

 

TY BigR I'm just stating as many experiences as I can to maybe enlighten someone looking into this program. I never bash a company they're in the business of employing people, it's the DRIVER(S) that sets them apart! I love driving for the freedom and challenge it brings.

I don't know of a career where you can watch the sunset in Texas(Galveston) then watch it rise over the Rockies two days later(or sooner) everyday is something different(even on dedicated ).

The people stuck in their cubes all day or flying here and there have no idea what it's like to drive these highways and deliver their stuff,they just want it and that's our job security, which I take pride in doing MY job the best that I know how along with many other drivers out here.

I make good money because I plan my loads,save fuel,manage expenses,listen to older truckers(secrets)at the coffee counter
anything that gives me an edge. I will help anybody that asks and supply info without being asked(thread) because its free take it as you will any good input,questions,answers,jokes... is all welcome.

I pulled a heavy load tonight 45266 and still managed 6.59mpg, minor hills with some stop and go I just had to fight the urge to "get er movin'" slow shifts(progressive),kept it at 57/58mph that seem to hold it in the right spot.

Carried over fuel from trip before because I fueled at an OC which is way cheaper then the "Big 3", and I honestly believe pilot/flying hook water down their fuel.
Well I better start winding down will leave window open to check on for a little while longer, checking on other loads for next pay period. You all be good and keep it centered(you an the truck)

 

They really didn't say anything it was a ride along kinda of deal,they don't make you feel like they're holding your hand,but also they don't breath down your neck(clipboard pencil).


Patience is what they look for and how you shift(13spd),mostly in town with a short drive on the highway. It's the backing under the trailer they watch and want you to do it the way they want you to do it. You will be told and given a cheat sheet.

Trust me the trailer you will like(secret)
