Once you have your CDL you get your own room

Congrats Yeags. Glad to see you made it. I will be upgrading about 2 weeks after Christmas. We have only been running about 3900 miles a week
Don't know why, but the miles just have not been there. Money has been good for the L/O trainer, just no miles. Sucks
Again Congrats and have a great Christmas and a SAFE New Years -
Just remember for the L/O its the revenue to the truck, NOT the number of miles. Kinda sucks for you, tho.
-
True, but I need the miles for the upgrade
-
Oh, I know that. But he is still running a business, and his first priority is that business. That being said, both of JCW's trainers (the first one's lease was up about 7/8ths the way thru his 40k) were L/O and both ran close to or over 5k most weeks. There were a couple that were at 3700ish, and one where there was zero. (Busticated radiator, in Detroit).
And he may want to have a little chat w/ his FM. -
Yeah I hear you, but sounds terrible, but not my problem, I have suggested he ask what is up and why the low miles, but he seems to think it is just the season. Probably right, I am the newby to the business so I may just be being sensitive.
-
Last week was slow for some, I do admit. We made out "ok" not terrific, but we hit the "gotta hit this to get the bills paid" number. Which, admittedly is really low. He will have some carryover, as the current load actually was dispatched Monday, and will drop Friday.
-
Glad to see things working out for you folks. Is JCW gonna make it home for Christmas?
How many miles is he running on average weekly? Hows the lightweight holding up? -
Lightweight is holding up under some very heavy loads quite well. No he won't be home for Xmas, but that was a choice we made a while back. As for average miles, I'll get you that number after Jan1.
