Ok im back .Took a 34 hr reset . Pick up a load in KC for OHIO Fuel Surcharge this week .45
loaded miles 707x 1.45 = 1025.50 there was no mt miles on this load
I used 103g of fuel on this run at 3.65g = 375.95 (with my discount)
Load paid 649.55
My total miles for this week so far 1753 on Thursday Morning . Monday payroll deadline i had 3338. I decided to do a reset so what i did was held a load back which was my last load 878loaded 168Empty And carried it over to this week . It gave me a head start for this week why i did my reset so basically i finished my reset on tuesday night with 1046 out the gate . Plus this load 707 =1753. Sometime it works out that way when it does i carry aload over . Makes it nice you have a short week and dont miss a payment . Hopefully ill have another decent week with my 70 and i can carry over another load for another head start the following week . The key is to keep it going so everytime you decide to do a reset you bank some miles wont hurt you as bad.
Ok im signing out hollar on thursday night hopefully

Deliverd a load in Ohio picked up another load in Ohio going to Georgia. for Friday.
Delivered Friday in Georgia next load picks up Saturday night going back to Ohio for a Monday appt. This load will give me 3078mi for the week.
I will end up doing another reset this weekend put myself in play for another decent week. Load going to Ohio isnt very heavy so ill get good fuel. -
Sounds like you're making it work...It looks like you're making a lot of informed business decisions when you have loads to choose from. You're maximizing your efficiency and not just looking at the total miles on the loads.

Will deliver this load in the morning . Ended up doing a 34 for the 2nd time this week glad i held some miles back from last week.
loaded miles 657 x 1.45 = 952.65
empty miles 56 x 1.35 = 75.60 1027.60 total rev this load . Spent 415.00 on fuel so i made 612.60 on this load.
Total miles this week 3058 Total Revenue 4407.65 (2789 loaded 269 empty) -
Fuel is a big thing . Watch how much you buy where you buy.Cpl light loads here and there puts the icing on the cake some weeks. But Ive had light loads when its windy and only got 6.0 and you spend as much as you would if it was heavy.
Believe me the wind is hardly ever in my favor . Make the best of it hope you get it back later
Tomorrow is another day . Ill send a post Monday eveningKutina Thanks this. -
Nice thread.Wind,IMO is more important then weight for fuel economy,example,last week i went to california with 5000 lbs load and i got over 8 mpg,no wind.On my way back,took same route,same weight,mpg was under 7,because of wind

My fuel usuage off the qualcomm everytime i make delivery or pick up a load. Not sure how accurate it is but that
what the qualcomm says.) -
You are being taken advantage of, renting a job, nothing more.
With risk is supposed to be reward, I sure don't see any......what are weeks away from family worth...a whole lot more than 40k.
Drivers have to stop falling for these schemes, it NEVER works out to your favour.copperfloor and Shakey52 Thank this.
