Magnum ltd - fargo, nd

Ok @Zata40 you want to share with us how you're gonna make that happen? You can't drive 700 in a day...are ya pulling a split sleeper?

 

Well they really did need this stuff. They came running outside outside when I arrived now it's 10 degrees and they made another another truck pull out of the dock, they where only half way done unloading them.

 

I posted when I got the load offer, but didn't think about it. I figured I'd take a 10 hour break in there, but I won't be able to make it. I talked to Jeremy and got the delivery rescheduled for 1600. The load was originally scheduled for 0800 pickup, so in that case there would have been plenty of time. Thanks for bringing that to my attention!

I guess that's why I'm still in training phase! Lol

 

@MissSusan - this is Magnum thread.

 

I guess I was just showing my newb-ness! I posted as soon as I saw the load offer, but didnt do the math. I assumed I had time for a 10 hour break in there, because I always have time for that when they give me loads. I had to get the delivery rescheduled. It was originally supposed to be a 0800 pickup. There is no way for me to make it there by 1100, especially driving through the mountains in the beginning.

Sorry everybody! This is why I'm still in training lol

 

Even if the stars aligned, I still don't think I could make it! Lol I got it fixed.

Seems like everyone pounced on this right away. I have to sit down and take my time to do the math first. Sheesh this is embarrassing lol

 

It's all part of learning...everyone's done it

 

At least you realized it soon enough to get the appointment changed without any problems...a total noob would have realized it minutes before they were suppose to be there while they're still several hours away.

 

I finally calculated my 2016 miles.

Paid miles were 116563

Hub (odometer) miles were 123385.

Not what I was hoping for when I signed up, that's for sure. Both my 2 previous years at Poly exceeded that many, and the worst year of the 10ish years at Crete was the year I missed 2 months with a leg injury and still turned 117000+. I guess you can chalk it up to incompatibility as the reason for my miles because I honestly tried any/all suggestions in order to improve productivity without lasting success... Is Magnum a bad company? Not really. They try, but like it's been said on here before, the company isn't for everyone...if it were, then there would be a list of approved drivers waiting for empty trucks to become available from retiring drivers.

 

Picking up in Belvidere going to Mankato MN for tomorrow. Then Gaylord to a 4 stopper in ID starting on Monday. Will swing by Fargo to get a PM service done Friday morning.
