So basically youre getting ~1.48 a mile for all miles vs JCT's current 1.11 on short miles.

Okay...whew...I finally got a break. Well, I guess I owe you guys a day 2 in orientation...keep in mind I'm doing this on my phone. So, day 2 was a lot of going over how and why, they do things at A&A Express. I probably heard the phrase, "call dispatch" ummm...78 times. Communication seems to be the BIG factor here at A&A and that is perfectly fine with me. We went over how to fill out the transflo trip sheets, the trailer inspection sheets, seal confirmation sheet. They touched on the 3 customers that we pull for that have specific instructions...John Morrell, Tyson and Schwan's. They give you loads of paperwork and talk to you about different types of scenarios. Anything from, can't find an empty to, blown tire on the trailer in the middle of the night to, fatality accident in downtown Los Angeles. I picked my load with Nick, the area planner, and decided on one that was a drop and hook in Sioux Falls and dropped anytime in Edwardsville, KS. I picked that up this morning at 1000 and dropped it a few hours ago. My take on the load was $704.55 Not too shabby. Right at $1.94 on actual miles. I wanted to keep my revenue up near $700 a day if possible, so that fit perfectly. I've already dropped that load, and now I'm waiting at the same customer (Millard refrigerated) in Edwardsville, KS for a load to Stockton, CA that should be loaded on a trailer by 0030 tonight. My take on that is $2338.25 right at $1.32 on actual miles. So much better than JCT. I don't want to sound ungrateful to JCT, but this is so much better. I'll do my best to update tomorrow. Aloha, goodnite

Sounds like a decent deal. I'm wondering what a realistic monthly escrow would be for maintenance. 200 is really low.

Yeah....it should be that a week. I will put away more than what they're taking, but according to them, I don't have to change the oil in my rig but every 45k miles. But I know what you mean.

Sounds weird right? I'm going home end of the onto and I'm going to take my rig into Volvo in Boise, being that I live up there and ask oh, a million questions.
