Dropping neck on mechanical DD

Yea I bet so lol... I don’t want to break it!

 

Been running pretty good here since getting trailer back. Only part I'm kinda having trouble getting used to is the not loading every day part. I grew up on flatbed and unloading and loading everyday was part of the way I ran.

Its hard to load one day and unload the next. Then may deadhead 300 miles and load the next day. Ive done about 2 loads per week. Less than 1700 loaded miles per week. Been bringing in some good $. Just trying to learn how to be patient and realize that I don't need to reload every day.

For instance the last 2 weeks this is what I did...
Abeville SC-Savannah GA ( picked Mon-del Monday)
Charleston SC-Gulfport MS (picked Tuesday Wed)
Pascagoula MS-Crane Indiana (picked Wed del thurs)
Then sat in Indiana until Saturday....(First weekend without going home in quite awhile)
Deadhead to Pottstown PA for a Sunday 6am pickup to deliver in Monroe Michigan Sunday afternoon... (it paid me $3000 which is why the long deadhead and I didn't want to sit all weekend.

Then the next week.... I sat in Michigan until Tuesday afternoon deadhead to Cincinnati and load Wednesday morning and deliver in Rockford ILL Thursday morning...
I then deadhead to Camp Atterbury and reload Thursday afternoon and deliver Friday afternoon in Athens GA. I go home after unloading and reload in Knoxville Monday to deliver Tuesday.

2 weeks and almost the same amount of $ both weeks...

I’ve been trying to stay busy... been doing a few of these blue tanks for an agent. Thinking about grabbing my flatbed tomorrow.... I need to get a DOT inspection on it anyway. Anyone know where I can get some Clevis hooks? At least rated for 12000- 13000 lbs?
