Running with JCT, Part Deux

Though the scanner can work for some you also have to remember Trip pak also has an app. No need to purchase a scanner that way. But the company still charges you as if it was a scan.

 

How many gallons does the tank hold Camaro?

 

Mine is about 23 gallons I do believe. Only once have I ran it below a 1/2 tank and I put in 19 gallons then. But normally I am putting in just under 12 gallons every week and a half or so.

Edit: My last fill up on Def I put on 11.89 gal. Before that it was 2589 miles before.

 

OK, so your spending about $30.00 per week on average. That's what I was trying to nail down. Thanks!

 

This makes no sense at all.....

I.E....You ran 1054 miles n made more than when you 1600+ miles..... Impossible unless you used fuel from the week before to do this...... Which just tells me you truly don't understand trucking numbers.....

You can make a paycheck with low miles. These are actual weeks for me in the past 2 months.

1054 miles - $768 take home
1661 miles - $631 take home
2141 miles - $1143 take home

AVERAGE/ WEEK: 1618 MILES - $847 TAKE HOME

Larger mile trips:
3722 miles - $924 take home
3483 miles - $1167 take home
3973 miles - $1681 take home

AVERAGE/ WEEK: 3726 MILES - $1257 TAKE HOME

 

How is it impossible if that is what his settlement is stating. Kind of asinine to say that. All you have to do is have a trip that goes thru a cheap fuel state and fill up and if it's towards the end of the period it won't cover both weeks and who's to say that he didn't have a trip that didn't require a fuel purchase to cover the miles. If you don't try to fuel for a paycheck and do it for the over all picture it makes perfect sense.

 

Agreed 100%. As a matter of fact, I only treat myself once per week to a sit down meal (not fast food... YUK!!!), otherwise I cook in the truck. I shop at ChinaMart twice a week to restock. I am notoriously cheap. I figure the $12-36 I spend each week in scanning fees is easily made up in the savings on food. I'm baking a potato right now as I type as a matter of fact. Laundry once per week (before it comes at me in the middle of the night). I did buy dinner for a nasty squid in Cali, but that was to make sure his fleas didn't get anywhere near the interior of my truck.

Anyway, there are many many simple ways to save money. All based on an individuals' habits and personal needs/wants. I pulled $18 out of my pocket to buy a brand new CB yesterday, paying the rest with points. If I actually added up the savings on a monthly basis based on my cheap habits, I'm sure it would be well over $150. I learned how to be cheap in college, when I let my drinking habit make my job go bye-bye. One day I woke up in the back of my car, looked up at my couch/front seat, and realized I needed to get my **** together. I did. Started a business on a shoestring and sold it a couple years later in a meeting room at the Hetzel Union Building on campus to another student and his father (I got raped on the deal, trust me).

 

I assume it's for every driver. I was on Keith's board for I believe almost three weeks. Some get more, some less.

 

True. I just use the TransFlo (many more available than Trip Pak scanners). I was under the impression that they didn't subscribe to phone-app scanning capability, is that not the case? I used to phone scan to TransFlo on a regular basis at the monstrosity of a company I came from. Was handy when I was in the middle of nowhere without hours and needed to get bills in by a deadline. TransFlo Express app is really easy to use, but I imagine it costs the carrier some money. Also had it installed on my home computer so I could scan at home after I parked the truck.
