Great Plains Transport - A company that cares about drivers... NO BS.

If they deserve one, they will get it.

 

So for my quarterly mileage I hit 36780 miles. How did everybody else do?

 

Wish I knew.... I might've just squeaked by this last quarter. Kind of hoping I get through the yard sometime before I get home for vacation.

 

Everybody what's your 20? I am by Bakersfield Enroute to Stockton. Drive safe buddies

 

I'm near Des Moines, heading out in the morning to deliver near Green Bay, then picking up the next morning at the same place..,, funny part is I was going to tell dispatch I would be left with only a couple of hours on my 70 once I delivered, and the minute I was going to call them the preplan came over the computer... and it fit my hours (or lack of ) perfectly.... looks like they beat me to the punch.

 

Yeah they do pretty good at least with me on making sure my 70 is drained. Good luck up by green bay. Watch out for those horse carriage things.

 

Yeah... that's why I don't expect a restart unless a load or a dispatch winds up getting yanked out from under me or I end up somewhere that has low freight(upstate NY has always been that way for me regardless of company...good thing I only go up there when it's time to get home). They basically try instead to maximize hours. Sometimes I have to stand up and tell them a 65 mph load planning speed isn't going to work if I'm in CA going up north or if old man winter is about to clobber one of the shutdown-prone states like Wyoming into submission.

 

In San Diego to deliver in the morning and pick up in Ontario to deliver in Salem Or for Wed.

 

Good luck with the 55 mph speed limit all the way up there

 

I know.... at least Oregon has the sense to let trucks east of i5 run 65.
