A&A Express Brandon, SD

Hey folks,
I took my week off after running for 2 weeks with A and A Express and I've been back on the road since Thursday with what happens to be my 5th load with the company. The load is from Nampa, ID to Springfield, MO. 1583 loaded Mikes is what they say. I could have done it in 1560-ish, but I opted to run through Oak Grove, MO (chrome shop). Needless to say, I got what I wanted to get for this truck. the next post will be the picture of what the load pays. Remember, I keep 74% of the gross revenue and 100% of everything else...ie., fuel surcharge, stop pay, detention pay. I ran the load for the restart and I'll have 70 hours available once I empty in the morning. Aloha, Ry

 

Here you go!

 

I feel like I do now. I appreciate it, but I'm not gonna lie, I didn't before. I paid off a 2010 Pete 386 but I had $0.00 dollars in the bank for maintenance so I sold it. In terms of time lost, it was an expensive mistake. Won't happen this time. Already have a good chunk put away after a few weeks of paychecks.

 

The only real number I have in my head, is that over the course of a 2500 mile week, I need $1.13 per mile to cover everything. Child support, Truck payment, fuel, insurance, house payment, my Chevy payment, cell phones, utilities at the house, savings account money. So $1.13 is what I need per mile if I do 10000 miles a month. Does that make sense? I can figure out the cost per mile to operate just the truck, but I don't care about that number, I care about paying everything.

 

I'm sure they do, but home is wayyyyyy more important to me than the semi. I'm not out here to just have a truck. I have a family, and that matters way more.
