LIAR!!!!!!!!

 

He said he STARTED at .25cpm, not that he spent the whole year at it. At 6 months, he got a 7cpm raise....

 

Liar?...Talk about opening mouth inserting foot...

Just an Example:

my last run;

Conover, NC to Houston, TX with 21 stops, 1,340 miles

.32cpm x 1,340 miles = $428.80
21 stops x $20 = $420
------------------------------------
$848.80 for one load

Just cuz I'm curious, how long did that load take you?

 

1 day to get to the 1st stop and 3 days of drops, + one last stop on 4th day didnt take long. I left a day early to get reset done after the drive out there

So I hooked to the load Sat morning, saturday afternoon i was 2 miles from 1st stop.

6 stops on monday
10 stop on Tuesday
4 stops on Wensday
1 stop on Thursday morning

Loged 11.5 hour sat on drive out there
6 hours on monday
5.5 hours on tuesday
6.5 hours on wensday
and .75 for the last drop on thursday

Can't answer your question to him. But I can tell you what it took me to put off 21 stops while working for W&S.

Two days for all 21. And reloaded the second day as well. I put the first 12 stops off, the first day.

You have to realize, many of the chain stores allow you to drop in their parking lots. And may only get 2 or 3 pieces.

You're not chasing down some lazy ### begging them to give you a dock, then unload you sometime that day.

 

#### you're slow
