Life at American Central Transport (ACT)

this is why i want her with me. Are her best days by? probably, Not right to put a dog down or get rid of you enjoyed the first 12 years( age is an estimate have had since before year 2000)

favorite thing she did back when we had that massive blackout across country. my son and i left house and decided to get some fast food( figured blackout was local) we get about 5 blocks up road. I look in rear view mirror and Missy was in the middle of madison ave chasing us down. lol said was great dog....not smartest

 

After being at ACT for only 6 weeks, everything is still going good. Had a couple trucks issues but got em fixed. Dispatcher is really cool. The one and only complaint is I wish I can get more miles. Maybe it's because I haven't been here super long. Other than that it's definitely a good company to work for. Maybe miles will start picking up soon.

 

Yes how many miles are you getting? The miles have been pretty good so far in the 2 1/2 months I've been here. Sure there will be weeks here and there where you may get 1800-2000 in a week, I had 2200 2 weeks or so back, but I have to say so far I've been averaging about 2400. A little over 2900 last week and this week a little over 2800. Have had as low as 1600, but that has been the exception instead of the rule. Hopefully everything will pick up for you. When I get my APU going again, I can bank an extra $200 a week that I've spent idling in the heat lol. I plan on getting that done this week.

 

I've been averaging 1700-1900 a week, I can understand it being low when and if I go home for a day or two, but the other weeks I dunno. My wife isn't liking the size of my 500.00 pay checks. And that's averaging 7.6 - 7.8 mpg. I like it here and don't wanna quit but I need the miles. I'm hoping it picks up really soon.

 

I'm gonna stick it out and hope for miles. I'm not one to job hop.

 

I understand what you mean there. Hopefully things will pick up for you.

 

Theres a reset button in your storage box . might wanna make sure you didnt trip it . I triped mine 2weeks ago . My apu has ran fine ever since

 

Yeah I tried it..It throws an alt code.I'm pretty sure it's the alternator because I turned my inverter on and watched the voltage and when it gets down to about 12.5 the apu shuts off. I took the cover off and tried to look at it, but I don't know really what I'm looking at lol..I heard that sometimes the wire going to the alternator breaks and throws the alt code, but couldn't really tell.
