Update:
Back on the East Coast. 7.16 mpg for the week. Hasn't been that low since the last time I went to CA, lol. This week should be a good week too. May be out until Christmas depends on what I get the next two weeks. They have my parts. I told my FM to focus on the money, we'll get by PriPit eventually. He listened so I'm happy.
Later guys. -
How much weight difference is it with the condo's and the lightweight sleepers?

Hey what is your average take home,monthly or weekly?

2000 to 3000 lbs. Enough to get the LW reefer stuffed with somethin' approaching 49000 lbs of stuff.JimmyBones, unloader, GunMetal345 and 1 other person Thank this.

I can hold 48200 lbs legal. After that it gets too heavy on the drives.

About $6k+ before taxes a month. That's with all this down time and repair cost. Would be more. It will get better in the summer when mpg goes back up. I'm making 4 times what I made on my last job even with all the repair cost.jomar68 Thanks this.

Update:
Hi guys. Last week I was burnt out in Canada. I the newness of crossing the border I opened the wrong valve on the trailer. I didn't find out until the end of my day. I ran the truck all night to heat it back up and successfully delivered the oil. My no idle heater was broken from when I tore the hoses off.
This month I spent another 2 days in PriPit. It cost about $3200 dollars to put those panels on and replace the door. I have no decals on my door. I got the no idle heater fixed too. I'll be checking with claims this week to make sure they are going after that money.
I ordered the laptop of all laptops on Cyber Monday and gave my wife the money for the couch. I'll get my dash cam and CB when I get my reserves back up.
I felt sorry for that guys that hit me but after taking home time in PriPit 2 months in a row I'm just pissed. I'll be home this month though.
Later guys. GunMetal345 out!popcorn169, Boy Howdey and Coragran Thank this. -
