Been a busy busy week what with my new co-driver!!! In Vegas right now waiting to get unloaded before returning in the morning for a reload and 3 stopper in Washington!!! I will update some more later!!
-
Out of orientation, first load to Little Rock, next load to VA. About 2300 miles for just under 5 days, how sweet it is.
-
Next load picks up tommorow..
Guess I can wait for *that* load..
Atwater to Belton Moberly (Mo) and Franklin In.
I don't like the routing over 70..we will see what happens with the Weather. -
I-40 to US56 or whatever it is, is 60 miles shorter from Atwater to KC, give that a look.
-
thanks. I am actually looking for my next company after we move to Nevada in November. I am taking November and December off and then look to go back to work after New Years.

So I am BOTH money and miles ahead despite being on a lower rate.
Every week it looks like an increasingly good move for me.socal, 48Packard, tow614 and 1 other person Thank this. -
Thanks to all the current Holland drivers for there time and insight on driving for Holland. I have few questions. (1) Of the bonuses how much of them can you count on as additional income? (2) How are lumpers paid for at must receivers on account or comcheks? (3) Do they pay detention time? (4) Are must of your loads truckload or multiple drop? Thanks Tanker
-
Those multi drop loads are killing your average. I figure you are averaging barely over 400 miles day. Staying out multiple weeks at a time should be able to hit 3200 miles a week minimum over 7 days. Sounds like you guys are running ltl's at a truckload rate.
ltl reefer should be good for .40 cents a mile to start and $20 a drop minimum.wonderdog24 Thanks this.
