miles for the week

2998 monday when I drop. 2 darn miles sick of this

 

3014 this week - and that's with a B service, a clutch linkage repair, and 2 nights in my own bed at home. I have no complaints.

 

3507 last week.

 

3612 for the week

 

Looks like everyone is doing well - those open trucks mean more for us! Bad part about that is we will start seeing loads that should have already been p/u or delivered the day they are assigned. Last year this time things were slower - But I am not complaining.

 

3220 this week and I have already had some loads like that. Had one the other day that was supposed to be delivered the day before I got it.

 

Alot more of that lately. Plus alot of the younger drivers getting tons of miles. That is good for them. But us old guys need miles to eat also.

 

Week not starting out to good, stuck in FT Worth got the dreaded no loads available message, hopefully I can get something in the morning.

 

Whats age got to do with anything? Us young guys run hard, just like you guys. We don't send the loads to ourselves and I don't kiss $%^ for them. I've been here about 14 months now and never been late because of something i've done. Run day and night, whatever it takes to get it there on time. Work ethic goes alot further than age. Age is meaningless in this industry in my opinion.

I meet alot of drivers averaging 2200 miles a week thinking about quitting. Come to find out, their doing alot of things that can cost them money. Sitting in a truck stop instead of delivering a day early, shutting down because "I cant drive at night well." but its Millis's fought their not making money right?

 

You misread read. By young I meant less experience. Relax take a deep breath driver
