day in the life...

I respect you driver, but can we stop the narrative of all local work is 14 hours a day. I’ve been home daily for 7+ years and only worked a 14 hour day a handful of times. Usually because of a breakdown.

 

This right here is spot on 100% .. the only thing needed to be added is if I call your shop and tell you I need a service truck ASAP because I have a flat tire on the side of the road and my trailer is loaded.. DON'T BLOW SMOKE UP MY A.. and tell me you'll be there in 40 mins and show up 2 hrs later..
Just frame what I quoted in my post ..And you will already be ahead of every other tire shop I've had to deal with for the last 35+ years

 

No problem. You can learn a lot here. Thanks for not advertising. Trying to con us out of free ad space will not end well.

 

A day in his life.

 

A day in my life, hmmmm.....everybody already explained everything pretty much. I will say, it isn't so much about how fast you can drop off loads necessarily, as loads aren't always designed that way. The most successful drivers are the most efficient drivers, and the ones that have a willingness to use any part of a 24 clock to utilize drive time(11 hrs per day). This is probably one of the easiest jobs I've ever worked honestly. It's one thing to work, and it's a another thing to know how to work.
