What if it Snows?

The Malfunction Continues-

Day 3 -

Remain calm.

I just completed my 3rd day of paper log as the ELD is WHACKED company wide.

I have filled out all the ancillary info for Day 4 already.

It's all coming back to me now.

 

New record for detention pay and it's not over yet.

I believe this is going to set the bar pretty high, and will not likely be eclipsed for some time.

 

You'd need to average that over a year. Maybe even two.

And DH is one of the most maligned things in trucking imo.

I mean if you can pocket several thousand dollars in a few days, but you have a 6 hour DH out. It's still more than worth it. Weight, terrain, weather, all factors.

There may be times when the shuttle load of 200 or 300 miles is there, but the timing is wrong to pick up the big load.

So you can DH the two or three hundred and make a couple thousand, or do the shuttle and take something for far less, netting you the same or less for the lesser paying load plus the shuttle, so your spreadsheet looks good.

But you made less money. You also made less cause you drug maybe 44K for the 250 miles, rather than using $75 in fuel driving over empty.
