Comet Transportation

Alright another decent week and I'm officially at my 6 month mark as a trucker. I started trucking on June 11th of this year and I have made huge improvements but everyday is a learning experience. Back home my daughters are really acting up since I have been away and that is affecting my girlfriend a lot. Let's just say I'm the stricter parent and seemingly that is why they think that they can misbehave. So obviously I'm still looking for something local in Charlotte so that I can be home everyday. OTR will not work long term for my family and I. Also I had another drive tire issue but I expect these problems now so it doesn't bother me as much. Miles for the week:

December 2- December 9 (2811 total miles)
341 miles (DesPlaines, IL- Wright City, MO)
662 miles (High Ridge, MO- Nacogdoches, TX)
968 miles (Shreveport, LA- Statesville, NC)
840 miles (Anderson, SC- Lock Haven, PA)

 

This was a very good week for me!!!

December 9-December 16 (3245 total miles)
600 miles (Lock Haven, PA- Hodgkins, IL)
464 miles (Mt. Prospect, IL- Portland, TN)
397 miles (Red Boiling Spring, TN- Montgomery, AL)
611 miles (Fairburn, GA- Saint Rose, LA)
1173 miles (Geismar, LA- Carlisle, PA)

 

This company has done a very good job of getting me home whenever I have requested. Mostly I've only asked to be home for the holidays so that I can spend time with my family. I got home on Christmas Eve and today I was given a pickup in Charlotte to deliver in Brooklyn, NY on Monday so I get the rest of the weekend home. I'm really looking forward to the New Year and I have a lot of goals that I'm trying to accomplish for my family. 2013 was my year to start a new career so that I could provide financial stability for my family. This was a very challenging year for me but I am very proud of how far I have come in just a short time. On my next post I will share my first 6 months earnings for the 2 companies that I have started my trucking career with. I hope everyone has enjoyed their holidays and is looking forward to the new year as I am!!!

December 16-December 23 (2394 total miles)
735 miles (Winchester, VA-Carol Stream, IL)
474 miles (Rochelle, IL-Springfield, OH)
1185 miles (Findlay, OH-Grand Prairie, TX)

 

Thank you very much

 

I really appreciate those kind remarks!!! I have plenty of people to thank in my life that have helped me become the person that I am today. I just understand that great rewards come from hard work and my grandfather taught me that at a very early age. He was the grandfather that had me at age 5 waking up before sunrise in the summers or days out of school to help in the farm or work on tractors/trucks/machinery. His sternness and high level of discipline helped mold me into a hardworking person.

 

Hope you enjoyed your Christmas!!! Man backing is for the birds lol. Just have loaded trailers all the time that we can just hook up to and I'd be ok or a pull through dock lol. I don't know if I'm ready for my own truck man that's extra responsibilities and I'm not sure if the money is worth it. We could start a company though lol....I'd be happy to sit behind a desk all day
