Mileage around christmas

Around Christmas, the best companies are ones that haul food; refrigerated trucking companies.

 

It really depends on our main costumer but my lowest this year so far has been 1800ish miles with a check of about 700 net. Last year it seemed to be a little better but hey i guess we will have to see what happens in the near future.

 

My company is refr exclusively and they still tell us that january is slow times...

The deal with trucking is that any seasonal item is shipped 2, 3 or 4 months before! We are already about done shipping Easter candy!

its nice to not worry about miles any more. load by load is the way to go. i dont even get 1000 miles a week and im pretty comfortable. idk how these otr guys do it i did it for a year and ill never go back to that nonscence

 

Salaried M-F and extra for weekends!!! Sweet! Not the most $ in truckin, but home nightly and I am averaging 15 hours or more off duty daily!

I will volunteer to stay out before Christmas until after the new year most of the time. The miles and freight availability are good considering a third or more of the fleet is off at home, and the truckstops are not jammed up everywhere.

 

Good point. Plenty of parking! But be careful and watch for those egg noggers!
