48 state miles? GOOD INFO INSIDE!

The problem, as I see it, is that only a handful of May drivers even post here on a regular basis, perhaps 15? Even fewer would post their miles. Therefore, a true representation of consistent miles and averages is not accurate.

I contend that one year 11 Western averages company wide are probably around 2,100 miles a week and 48 States around 2,600 week.

 

I came back to May on the 5th of December and was issued a new truck out of Layton. My odometer reads right at 68,000 miles.

I train, however, have had weeks where I had no student. I take consistent time off and reset my 34 hr often because of how hard and consistent I run when I have a student on the truck.

I employ a get there early and drop if I can. If I can't, I get there earlier enough so that I can reset my 34 hr clock and am ready to run with a fresh 70.

The math is pretty easy to figure on the miles I average. Yet, once again, that is not a true representation of averages at May, which is why I'm reticent to even post these numbers.

 

It's not always logistics scheduling loads with too much time. Customers will request deliveries to be made on certain days and use trucks as a mobile storage system if they don't have room in their warehouses.

 

My mileage for past couple months, just doing it month to month miles, and miles probably carried over for previous month into new month.

February: 2793 I solo'd out on the 20th then took couple days home time.

March: 7372 broke down in Texas on the 13th and got truck back from shop on 20th, got outside Denver and truck broke down again on 23rd. On 24th gave me new truck and took couple days off then on 26th started in new truck, lost 1 full week of driving when broke down in Texas.

April: 9311 On 7th I was doing a reset at brooks when got the call my girlfriend was going into labor so left truck at brooks and got ride up to Portland and flew to denver, flew back on 13th.

May: 3597 so far, late night delivery in Denver to night then home for a few days

 

Congrats on new baby!
