    $22132 worth of revenue to truck this month after I deliver to WI Monday. Roughly $763 a day and spent 3-4 of them at home. Happy with those numbers. Still a few things I wish were better but I'm getting there.

    Playa what's the best time in the morning that you've found to be calling agents?

    0715-0800 right as they get in the office and before most lazy truckers get out of bed. When I'm preplanning my freight I'll call them as soon as I know what area I'm heading into. If I don't book anything right then I'll call at 1530 of the time zone that agent is in. Then I will follow up the next morning.

    I talk to agents a lot.. Its not required but I do. I call them to book the load, I call them when I am loaded, and I call them when I am empty telling them that I'm empty.. Thanks for the load and next time I'm in your area I will be calling you. Works for me, communication is everything.

    I'm starting to get a feel for how I should be running here. Had a really good week last week, my first. And things are looking good for this week too. Right now I'm in Alabama picking up crane mats to Ohio. And I'm pre booked for a load out of follansbee wv to Chicago for Monday. I'm gonna try and keep myself pre planned like that all the time. Bonus is that I live half way between i80 and i94 so I've been getting home with a load on every weekend. It was rough when I first started here but I'm very happy about coming to work here
     
    Philly1Finest, playamwj12 and Lonesome Thank this.
