Pumpkin Pride Positive: Choice Program

Some people make it harder then it really is,I like it. The web access is cool and I can do the training videos(with wifi) right from the cab or google a question about my truck,pretty cool. How you been LMB?

I delivered load in NE Friday then headed home since no loads going into home base.

I picked a light load for Lowes(10301lbs) delivered last night01).

I got a load of chips going to Denver(9886lbs),then from Denver to Tulsa with a load of coffee cans Maxwell(5886lbs) then?

I'm waiting on Jenks load going to SC(18klbs) but pays 1.61 so crossing fingers don't wanna get ahead of myself.

It's been going great just learned about new work flow system will keep me from late depart,Like I would do that again

 

I don't pay much attention to the "Years Experience" .

Anyway, I was a company driver before coming over to The Choice Program", I leased with another company but they were always pushing New Trucks!!

I did the 6 mos and moved on to another company, I'm glad I started this program it works for me and I only had one issue with finance which is being resolved shortly.

I have been getting use to the fact that I don't need to run as hard to make twice as much money and hauling light loads to save on fuel helps.

I think that if you enjoy being your own boss and not having to answer to people(dispatch) all the time just "check in"(macro's 6/18 like usual. You already know the ropes with how Schneider likes certain things so you should do great.

You should call Andrea P in Green Bay she will answer all your questions k,have a great day hope this helps.

 

I dropped the load that was actually just 7170lbs last night and drove about six blocks to pick up the load to Tulsa(5886lbs), the truck averaged 7.28mpg for this trip.

I have enough fuel leftover to make it 350 miles into my next trip of 694 miles

The load I was looking at going to SC was paying 1.31(18k lbs) out of Jenks not 1.61 where I got that I don't know. I replaced my sending unit; part cost $51.58, labor; free(me), twenty five minutes done deal.

Man I can't believe it's almost "chain" season again or how LMB puts it "French" for hotel season again or $80 on $60 off. Gonna be hanging around the "10" soon, yes there are loads out of Texas that don't weigh 45k just few and far between.

I have been at this over a month and still haven't driven the miles for a "PM" yet!!

I'm waiting on picture of settlement to get to my mailbox and will put in photos you will have to zoom somehow, I did highlight in red balloons the Net pay,rate per mile,miles driven,deductions.

I just wanted to show you what I mean by half the work twice the pay,1663 miles at 1.57 per mile = 2,625.42-deductions = 1454.44 that was with three days off.

 

I'm still trying to re-size the picture so you can actually see it not working yet but if anyone has any ideas let me know.

 

I was when you asked in Jenks,OK headed to New Caney,TX now going back up to Dallas(FW) then to Denver again then back to OK trying to get this light load loop going for me.

I made $3680 last week I had some serious dead head miles(home time) and I pulled some money out of my advance and bought a new GPS which I really needed my old one was getting on my nerves.

I took home about $1600 which isn't to bad for the fuel I used because of home time and the advance,parts etc..
