    I will. I can't remember how much Knight pays per hour.
    Today was a bust. I ran a local load in a loaner truck and that was it today. Not too happy about this week. Then again this is the only short week I have had. Just got the short end of the stick. I did get my drive tires replaced finally. They all have good tread and match. First time since I started I have had good tires.

    Couple days off in Springdale and Monday I have a load in town that goes to Washington state. I have only been up there once when I was in training.
    My total bonus was $1575 this quarter. That will pay out at the end of the month sometime.

    That is a nice bonus! :) I'm hoping to bonus as much as possible when I go solo. Washington would be a nice state to visit I think.

    Truck is all clean. The mechanics left greas on my wheels so I cleaned those, washed the rubber flooring, and swept the carpet really well. Truck looks and smells good again.
    My terminal called me this afternoon and told me I was their first five star driver they have had in their two and a half years of operating. I thought there were only 3 stars so there must be some categories I don't know about. Fajo can probably fill us in on that. I was pretty happy with that news.

    News to me lol, then again I never really paid attention to ratings. But good on you for getting the top rating. Its awesome news and Im glad your doing good. Im taking most of next week and the week after off. Time for some vacation and time with the kids. i did 33,900 last quarter and that was with time off, so people that say they cant get over 24000 to 25000 in a quarter are doing it wrong.

    I am not sure yet. He just told me that I would be going to Washington state Monday. I didn't get all the details.
    I agree about the mileage. I got a little over 32k for the quarter. I had a student for a little bit but I didn't use him as a second log. We just ran like a solo truck.
     
    jayfish and Fajo Thank this.

    Load was changed to a two pick in AR to front royal, va. Been an easy run so far except for finding a spot to park in Lebanon, TN.
