My new adventure with Gordon Trucking

You will find that detention will have a lot to do with the board you are running on. If you are on a regional board and expect to get home every 2 weeks then your chances of delivering and picking up live loads are greater since you won't be running across country due to the difficulty getting you home ontime.
Detention is paid after 2 hrs. If that depends on the ccustomer paying it then I can't say. I always get it but don't have much. I think last month I had 3 hrs detention.
Hope this helps.

 

It would be the van division out of indy. Do you really do 80% drop and hooks?

Just of of curiosity tow how much did you avg the last few years for gordon? If you doint mind me asking...

 

I run out of indy also on the us fleet. My pay would be irrelevant since my wife and I drove team here from 08/2009 until February of this year. I do stay out 4 weeks and average between 12k and 13k for 4 weeks. My last 4 weeks I ran 13, 270 in 31 days. I left home last Thursday from Cookeville tn and ran 804 miles then 682 miles and am now on a 2214 mile run that I will finish Wednesday afternoon and will take a reset when finished. That adds up to 3700 miles.
80% drop and hook is accurate for the Midwest. More so on US fleet since you have longer runs.

 

But my wife and I made 6 figures every year here. She left the truck to go back to school so I can retire in a couple years. I have a few years on her.

 

Thought i would come back over here joseph and post my trips since leaving the house if you dont mind.
Left my home in cookeville,tn on 8/22 and my trips were as follow:

8/22 cookeville,tn to jackson,tn(pu) to pauls valley,ok(del) 804 miles .. final on 8/23
8/23 pauls valley,ok to joplin,mo(pu live load) to olney,il 682 miles .. final on 8/24
8/25 olney,il to pontoon beach,il(pu) to clackamas,or 2214 miles .. final on 8/28
3 hrs left on 70 so i took a reset in portland until 8/30
8/30 portland,or to hermiston,or (del load from portland yard) 203 miles .. final 8/30
8/30 hermiston,or to pasco,wa(pu) to halsey,or(del) 339 miles .. final 8/31
Ppl from halsey,or when i del tomorrow to colorado 1167 miles andwill del 9/01 or 9/02 if i get lazy since it has plenty of time on it...
Since we are on elogs everything is safe and legal....would post my hours but i would have to get online with my pc to access qualcom and dont feel like it right now..tired...... i know you are running the same joseph..

As a footnote... my wife is coming back on the truck to drive team again. She decided that college wasnt for her even though she was getting A's in everything..go figure.. but that only means i wont be retiring as early as i hoped..lol...
Poker career on hold for awhile.. maybe someday i will be the oldest person to have ever won the WSOP....
