Going back to OTR with Schneider Lease Purchase!

Just finished my first day loaded with freight. I've got a rudimentary plan for the rest of the week, if nothing better on the board shows up.

I'll deliver tomorrow morning to Albany OR, go to Vancouver WA, and pickup a load going to Boise. On the morning of the 20th I'll deliver to Boise, all as planned.

What comes next is potentially going from Boise to Seattle from Wednesday to Friday, and Seattle to Phoenix Friday to Monday. These loads pay okay, but they're both at least 40,000lbs. Thankfully the Seattle to Phoenix doesn't have me run through California. If I do these last 2 runs I'll reach my weekly income goal, and I'll run 3100mi/8 days. I want to run around 2700/week so the math works out to average 388/day, or 2716mi/7days. Not too bad.

Settlement will look nice too, especially not having a truck payment yet I just wanna go out East, even if I have to take a less-than-desirable load out of Phoenix to do it.

 

That's what I'm seeing so far. I'd prefer not to run the PNW but because I live in Salt Lake but I guess it means this is where I'll make most of my runs from. I hate chaining up!!!

Turns out I won't have enough on my 70 to get from Seattle to Phoenix on time, so I think I'll do a Seattle to Reno Friday to Monday, getting my 34hr reset in during the weekend. Then it's a Reno to Portland from Monday to Wednesday, and after Wednesday the 27th I don't see anything worth it yet.

I think I'm getting the hang of this load board thing!

 

I do have a daily, weekly, and monthly goal and a revenue per mile goal. Reaching it seems like a whole other ballgame. I wanted to aim for $1.60/mi but it's #### near impossible finding loads for that rate in the PNW
