    Yes the $1.57 was my average for my settlement(tiredoldman) without a truck payment though ;) it was also the RPLM to Orlando.

    I think coming out was $244 for 135 not 132 miles actual miles was around 147 with no fuel figured in (left over from previous trip) puts it at $1.68 but Jacksonville wasn't real friendly with the freight so I had to dead head some.

    I picked up a load that weighs 14140(paper towels) ;) going to Indianola,Ms then another dead head this one 91 miles!, for a load to NE.

    It pays $1341 for 796 miles, preloaded live unload with some home time in between (10 hr reset) but will be on another run back through the house in two days.

    So since I couldn't get Kathleen to Topeka run this will work the same just a little heavier load, oh well should be OK.I think getting out of NE maybe fun I have a load in mind I don't want to get to far ahead.

    Well everybody have a great day and stay upright!!

    Daywalker, what is the deduction for maintaince over there. Also what happens if your upside down on your maintaince account? How much do they raise it? Don't think i've saw this brought up on here yet. Sorry again if i got your thread off track, that was not my intent.

    I think they raise it two cents so if your already at .05 it goes to .07 and so on..

    I want let you all that may be interested in the Choice program to not make the same mistake I did........ haa thought I was going to get all negative huh ;)

    No I want to let you know it's not when you scan you bill's it's your departure notice that counts for the cut off. Make sure you send the depart notice before midnight Saturday(soon to be Monday).

    I made the mistake of forgetting to send it till after I had parked for the night and sent in my bills. I went from having a $1532.00 settlement after all expenses including truck payment etc... to a $460.00 settlement that one trip would have paid me another $1446.00!! My mistake and I learn quick :biggrin_2556:. The fuel cost $373.70(1906.00-373.70= $1532.30) for that trip. I will not do that again.

    I will send depart macro when I unload.
    I will send depart macro when I unload.
    I will send depart macro when I unload..... :biggrin_25521:
    I'm getting some home time now and will be heading out of here Monday for a load to Texas $1.89 a mile 9000lbs.

    I then have one from there to Georgia $1.47 a mile 25k lbs I like the light loads easy on the truck,me,fuel.. you know great for not paying to scale which you do not get reimbursed for K.

    I think the APU is the best deal you could ever do to save money and in the winter it circulates the antifreeze through your motor so its easy on start up(warm oil) heater ready to go. ;)

    The new "Work Flow" system will eliminate forgotten depart macros. If you forget, it will automatically do it for you when you leave...supposedly. I just did the class on this Saturday. They are rolling it out in dedicated accounts now. (The button on your MCP200 that looks like a clipboard, and doesn't do anything, it will do something soon.)

    Probably best. You don't have to unlearn anything. Our class was filled with whiners. Crying that its going to be too hard. They are making it much harder than it really is. Many things will be filled out automatically, and we just have to confirm. The new system isn't harder, actually, it's easier, but totally different. People can be so resistant to change. I am on Penney's in Plainfield, IN...for now. They are closing down next year.

    I went and looked at it on CrossRoads, not confusing at all. A lot easier

    We go live two weeks from today. I feel bad for the girls in the office. Not only will they have to learn their end, but will have to know our end so they can "hold drivers' hands." And I agree. Seems rather simple.
