Diary of a current Swift flatbed driver

i like the pictures keep them coming.

 

well it seems their up to the same ol crap again. 1500 miles last week,(in fairness it was the holiday weekend) now they spread 487 miles out for me over 3 days, just lovely. I am learning though, i will not except anyloads up to washington or idaho for a while, and i talked to Meltons recruiter the said they would hire me, and start me off with 5 cents more a mile than what im making now. Something to think about, lets see how the rest of the month goes.....

 

did get to see the lowrider truck, for all you low rider fans out their

 

Ive just read the first post but thanks for the info!

 

How many miles did the melton recruiter say you would get on average weekly?

 

Nope, that wasn't me. I was just coming back from vacation 2 weeks ago (that's why I didn't see your post until now).


Can't comment on Melton, but you'll get to drive a better truck. I like my ex-Melton T600.

 

recruiter said drivers average around 2500 per week

 

I've been out of trucking for a while and was curious, what are the two round black tank looking things between the fuel tank and the battery box/step? Also the polish job on the tanks and wheels looks great, nice to see you take pride in your ride even if it's a company truck.

 

he said 2500 per week, how many weeks have you hit or gone above that?

 

honestly not to sure i, going to go through and pot my stats but my overall average is 2100 right now
