Going back trucking with PTL

Finally made it home at 1500. I'm here till 7/14 at 1200.

 

Couldn't have said it any better myself.

 

Went out the truck at 1100 and told FM ready to go. Sat around till 1400. Then told FM I am going back to the house. Call me when I get a PP. He said will do.....

 

Did not get a call so last night around 2100 I went and check the QC. Yep got a PP. Picking up today between 0800 and 2300 in Calhoun, TN going to Columbus, OH for an 0800 delivery tomorrow.

Right now sitting at the shipper waiting on my load to be ready so far waiting 3 hrs.

Did 305 miles today. Too long waiting to get my load.

At my fuel stop in Corbin, KY for the night.

 

Did 576 miles today not bad.

I was late for my delivery. I got there at 0930. No one seemed to care. I could have started my day at 0230 and made it on time I was too tired.

Got my next PP picking up 32 miles away at 1330 and delivering in SC at 1300. I had time to find a restroom and send in paperwork. I got to the pickup around 1130 and they loaded me right up with 14 totes of soap and I'm outa there at 1200. This load weighs only 24500 but still going up the hill on I77 sometimes got down to 20 mph in 6th gear.

I'm at the VA welcome center for the night.

PTL has instituted a new fuel bonus program. Each quarter if you average 6 to 6.5 you get 0.5CPM for every paid mile, 1.0CPM for 6.5 to 7.0 and 2.0CPM for 7.0+. 3 requirements 1 must do at least 24,000 miles 2 must still be employed when they payout and 3 must have the same truck.

I asked my FM when will they payout for the last quarter and he said next week. I did 6.63MPG for 30,400 miles So I get $304.00 bonus.

 

Did 424 miles today.

My delivery was a piece of cake. Wish they were all like that.

I am sitting at my next shipper in Imo, SC. I have been here once before. My load won't be ready for another hour so I decided to spend the night here. It delivers in Carol Stream, IL on 7/19 at 0700. Then we are set up to get my APU fixed.

Today I actually got a call from PTL congratulating me on my fuel bonus of $304.95. I was surprised by that. Also when the paycheck msg came out today I had 2 of them 1 for the regular and 1 for the bonus.
