Going Over the Road with Knight

Yes. All shop inspection lane visits have to be accompanied by a trailer. I was taken off the dedicated thing because this took to long and messed up my hours for the load I was on. Back on regular freight. I really wanted those miles too.

 

I get over 30k each quarter. I see as low as 2100 once in a while and have been as high as 3k or so. It varies but I seem to keep moving for the most part. I was thinking I would hit 60k or more this year gross pay and I am on track to hit that. I may even go over 60k for my first full year driving. The money is there especially if you work hard and get the .05 com bonuses.

So they did keep me on dedicated. It is a weekly rate of 2500 miles whether I actually run that many or not. I was not aware of that. They had a shuttle gig in addition to that tonight. Ran 3 trailers from one facility to another to be loaded and bring them back where they came from in the morning. About 275 total miles to do it all and it will pay me 300 bucks. About 25 miles each way.

 

Still doing shuttles. It will probably throw off my bonus but it pays well. Lots of restaurant stuff. I load it and take it to the dc, wait on an empty, and head back. 3 of those will take up most of my 14 hour clock. Run some errands tomorrow and I will just stay out rather than take real time off.

 

Finally doing something different. Have to call payroll tomorrow though. Four of those local runs didn't pay. I scanned everything in. Shorted me 400.00. Luckily my check was still decent even with the missing pay. In OKC for the night and I am about to go check in. They have a staging area with room I could have used but they said I was too early. I parked at a warehouse nearby. Seems to be closed so there is no one around to kick me out.

 

Hit a snag today. The truck began throwing red shutdown codes and telling me to shut down immediately. I made it to my terminal and got the truck in at Volvo. This dealer is good. They already called me and it is a bad oil pressure sensor. Probably leave out Monday.
