    I completed two weeks worth.

    It's taking a bit longer than I thought it would and I need to get up to leave at 4:30 AM.

    I have the other 4 weeks saved and will put them into another sheet later tomorrow while I am sitting waiting for my loads.
     
    Kujo and The Challenger Thank this.

    Had a shipper this morning preload a trailer with 48025 lb's and expect me to take it. Told them take off at least one pallet and I would actually go scale it but wasn't going to until they did. Would be no point when my empty weight with full tanks is over 33k. Thankfully they didn't argue and took off the 3 heaviest pallets and rearranged the load so ended up only rolling out with 40k. And to make it better I kept my fuel mileage up at 8.4 mpg for the trip. Sitting 30 miles away now can't deliver til noon tomorrow. And I ended the week with 2850 miles approx. So should be a good check this week I usually only run about 2200.

    Thanks again MNdriver for your help on those settlement sheets.
     
    MNdriver Thanks this.

    No worries I will be the first to admit I am not a morning person. Although the job gives us no choice a lot of times.
     
    MNdriver Thanks this.

    Delivered in dallas early got a heavy broker load to pick up tomorrow here off to fort riley in kansas this should be interesting. Will stop by the house a few hours on this one. It's not much but laundry and a home cooked meal sure makes life a little better.

    Hey Kujo got a couple of questions for you. Earlier you stated you usually only get about 2200 miles a week. Why is that? Do you go home on the weekends or is that just what you prefer? It seems as though they keep you guys rolling, something just seems odd about the overall miles per week. What am I missing?

    Also does ACT get much freight to North Carolina?
