Magnum ltd - fargo, nd

Nice dude! Your posts sure didn't make it seem this good lol!

I also posted that I was expecting a "nasty pay cut". But that didn't happen. I did go down a little, but only by 1 cent.

Here are my trimester stats (Mar-Jun):

Miles 42,211
Layover 7
Layover miles 2,773
Total miles (paid miles) 44,984
Mpg 7.91

For all the reefer haters who say driving reefer is loaded with horrible appointments in the middle of the night all the time, I have something for you. Here are all my appointment times from one of my notebooks. This is every single one of my appointments from 4/11/2017 to 7/10/2017.

While there are a few during the dark hours of the night, the vast majority are not. For anyone new and listening to these people sying "stay away from reefer companies because of appointment times", come check out Magnum! Judge for yourself!

 

These appointments happen because Magnum is proactive about getting good appointments. Part of that, I'm guessing, is because you've been on ELogs for so long. It's the only way to keep up productivity. That and you guys are really good at trip planning, setting good ET's and communicating. The name of the game is to keep the wheels moving! Based on the two sets of numbers I saw, I'm going to really like it there. Thanks for posting!

Not bad for my first few months. Now I need to stop doing silly stuff and get back up on my A game.
