Life at American Central Transport (ACT)

Well that sucks. I will say I have only been to Michigan once since I have been here though and then I deadheaded to almost Columbus to reload so I guess it makes sense.

 

Delivered in Tulsa and Broken Arrow Monday morning then loaded in Stillwater,Ok and delivered in Topeka,Ks. Reloaded same place and delivered that in Stoughton,Wi this morning then deadheaded to Des Moines,Ia and picked up going to Fort Recovery,Oh for tomorrow morning. Since I left Thursday morning from KC after the Vegas vacation I have had 3800 miles in the last 7 days. I like it.

 

Delivered in Ft Recovery,Oh then repowered a guy in Florence,Ky so he could go home and took his load to Des Moines,Ia. Deadheaded from there to Mt Sterling,Il and am delivering it in a bit in Vidalia,Ga.

 

I do good here. I have put 36000 miles on the truck in 3 months and I have taken off 2 of the last 4 weeks plus about 1 out of every 3 weekends for 3 or 4 days. Thing I really like about here is I can take off a week and it don't take weeks to recover from it and start seeing paychecks like alot of lease purchase deals do. I am averaging .52 a mile after .07 goes into my maintenance account even with all the recent timeoff.

 

Delivered in Vidalia,Ga then went to Graniteville,Sc and picked up a preloaded load of tires and just dropped it in Belvidere,Il.

 

Dropped the tires off in Belvidere,Il then loaded in Bedford Park,Il and took it to Kansas City then delivered it and picked up a preloaded trailer from the terminal going to Axis,Al for Monday morning. After that I reload in same town going to Trenton,Tn. One thing that is nice is we have local trucks in KC that quite often pick up and deliver loads in and out of the terminal so this one to Alabama was just sitting there waiting for me.
