Where, OH, Where........

Well rescued a load from a broke down truck sitting at the J in Ruther Glen. Deliver noon tomorrow in decatur ga. Puts me around 3300 miles for the week. I guess I can't complain about that. But they made me work for the last few hundred miles to get this run. Oh and woke up this morning they had me dead heading 200 miles to pick up for a MA run delivering late tuesday. The driver at the J broke down last night and was 119 miles away. I got it 5 minutes after questioning the MA run.

 

Im doing pretty good this week for miles to. Ill have 3813 when I get my current load in tomorrow and Im preplanned on a 1300 mile load to start off the week with.

 

I must be in the wrong #### fleet. I never get that many miles. Eternally 2500 and below.

 

I run like that all the time but I dont think it has much to do with the fleet since I get bounced arounnd to different fleets all the time.

 

It may not be fleet but its something. I rarely hit 3k, always ends up being one big load short.

 

I aggressively pursue the miles. I either get them or I make someone's existence a miserable one.

 

In mount Jackson va heading to Cartaret nj tomorrow. What fun!

 

Thats probably the answer to why you dont hit 3000+ miles in a week. East coast crap. No big loads in NJ unless you haul HAZMAT, refer, or flatbed. USA does have some pretty good HAZMAT loads out of NJ. Most of them are going to WI and MN.

 

The MN loads dont require an endorsement though since they are table 2 materials that are less than 1001 lbs. The shipper still gives placards for the loads but they are not needed. You could have ran it.
