American central transport (lease)

Yea i usually make calls. load im on now is a Wal mart load . So not much you can do.

 

I usually get fleet avg . Thats about it. .41mi avg last 3 yrs before taxes . I pay between 8500 9000 to IRS every year. To me thats bottom end pay for a lease maybe im wrong. But im making it work .

I have made all my appt on time for 3 yrs now . Made all my truck payments. So thats a plus. But when you throw Hrs available away it sucks. I spend alot of time in Illinois Tx Al Mo Ks Ok shipping lanes . maybe thats the problem.

When its Friday they give you 3 choices 1 Mcpherson to Tx 377 Monday . 2.McPherson to NC 1238 for a Wed. 3. McPherson to Wis. for Tue. with 1 stop appt only. I took Wi. Bad move. finish that week with 1864 mi.

Alot of drivers get good info from there Dm . Mine doesnt even answer the Ph. so makes it even harder to make informed decision.

Ive called some higher ups and had meaningful convo on the issue ran me great for 3 weeks it was awesome avg 500 /day dispatch. Then bottom falls out. Preplans and choice loads are left overs.

This yr. I ran 114,000 mi. (106,000 loaded). Avg .41 mile paid IRS 8800.00. Take home 40,000.

Its my 1st time leasing seems i should make more. And i know i can because some weeks there hrs available on my 70 This week atleast 19 hrs . last week 25.

 

I wanted to say thanks for the heads up. I called and rescheduled appt like you said I ended up unloading a day early. Thank you .

 

Empty out early on Sunday. No loads till Monday. I arrived at consignee Saturday night. So sneaked in a 34. Didnt really need 1 had 19 available. But we take them if its possible. For the week i avg. 8.6 mpg running lower states for last 8 days.

Next load pays 1651.46. FSC is .26 load weights 12,000 . Been almost 2 yrs see load pay this much. So im taking it. Wed delivery

 

Made my delivery with the xtra stop Avg 8.3 mpg 7.6 for the week . Preplanned on another load with 3 stops 820 mi. for a wed pickup delivers Friday.
