    This week I hauled over 526 TONS of steel, or 1,052,606 pounds depending on how you want to look at it...

    That's a lot of short trips, there. Hope you get paid by weight and not mileage.

    Coils pay by the weight usually. General freight pays on miles...... I try to mix them both with light loads, paying very well, going very few miles lol

    Unless you have an 8 axle I am calling BOLOGNA ....that is boderline impossible ... It has to be some type of inter-plant move and why shoul we be impressed by that?

    IF you hauled 3 loads per day at a 50,000lb avg thats 150,000 per day x 5 days is 750,000 ....

    And you want us to believe this was done in 300 miles which is 60 miles per day means that you are avg 10 miles per trip one way ....

    This is done on a daily basis by local guys in the Gary, Cleveland, Detroit, and Pittsburgh areas

    ***YAWN***

    Oops sorry...I think I was susposed to be impressed

    My buddy is a slab hauler at Us Steel in Gary, I'm sure he moves a couple million tons a week, and only travels maybe 100 miles tops.... but that's inter-plant and with a slab hauler machine LOL

    13 local loads at 40,000 LBs per load for a weekly total of 300ish miles is quite doable.
