My new adventure with Gordon Trucking

My point is victor I am not wasting my time with you.. if I say I ran 3225 that's it. If I were to got to the trouble of detailing it out for you then you would just refute that. So why bother...

 

Suit yourself. It was "3225 miles this week so far" and others here would like to know, too. You don't have to do it just for me. And, yes, if you put it out here and it doesn't add up, it deserves refuting.

And not just by me.

 

It's really not about me, no matter how you try. The new HOS drastically change the hours a driver has each week, down from 82 to 70. Claims over 3,000 miles/week should be backed up. It can be done, yes, with picture perfect loads. Gordon loads are not all that picture perfect for most Gordon drivers. Far, far from it.

If this is to be more than a mere cheerleading thread, it needs more Gordon reality. IMO. Not just 'picture perfect' loads.

 

Used to have 2 sections,

1. the good about a company

2. the bad about a company

which section is this ?

 

There are 3........

1. Cheerleaders

2. Complainers

3. Explainers (DAC report: Gordon Trucking)

 

3000 miles a week can be done in a 62 mph truck and never take a reset. It can be done...the math supports it. Its not easy but it certainly can be done

 

The good..the bad.. and the whiners

 

Victor must not know how to drive, plan or manage time. I drove for gordon last june until october and quit for a local deal cuz my wife had just had a baby. I loved Gordon, and when I move back to Ohio in a month or so Ill go back. I drove midwest regional and still ran 3,000 miles or better most weeks. I am used to big company running and made them work for me. I had truck 10108 for the non believers and nay sayers. I took the loads given and delivered. Didnt sit around #### chatting or sit on loads with extra time. Id ask to drop early or drop it at a yard or get it swapped. Youve just got to know trucking and make the system work for you. Mind you Id only stay out 7-10 days. But my hometown in Ohio is a big area for Gordon so loads in and out were easy even stops during the week and made my money. I also had 5 plus years they verified at the time. I already have it set up with Bret to come back when I get back to Ohio. So it can be done if you dont waste all your time fussing with crap or riding your clock like Vic obviously did alot when at shippers or receivers. Work smarter, not harder and be mindful of the system and make it work for you.

 

Ok truckinmike... welcome to the family of successful gordon drivers who are having sour grapes flung at them by victor.
It's an elite club however so enjoy....
About now I expect he is foaming and spewing green vomit..or lying in the floor kicking and screaming.
However just pay him no mind.
