ELDS Rate increase

I have fairly fast trucks, at least for a company truck, but when I'm in NJ, for some reason they all go much slower! lol

 

I set my cruise between 63 and 65, still clear $4k+ a week consistently.
Next excuse for poor planning...

 

But you're running paper, aren't you?

 

Nope.
I focus on rates, distance, location, and then I keep my left door closed.

 

The trucking industry is so diverse in it's operational characteristics that any prediction Is fruitless. What kills you on HOS may not affect me in the slightest and vice-versa. That is why I have a hearty chuckle when I read about some pointy head economist advising some 3PL that there will X amount of productivity loss.

 

Gotta love the left door stays closed drivers.

SMH

 

Yeah, why would doing the job actually increase productivity when someone can hang out at the truck stop and cry they aren't making any money?
Funny, the same people crying about ELDs are also talking trash about those of us who are very profitable, I wonder why? Maybe because some of us actually take responsibility for our actions. IF I fail it is because I made poor choices, not because of an app on my tablet. If I continue to succeed, it is because I have made wise choices, regardless of an app on my tablet.
See how that works? I doubt it.

 

That's nothing, my right door is always closed too! lol
