My October numbers were decent. I didn't run that hard at all.
$16,000 revenue.
5,334 ALL miles.
Home 26 out of 31 nights.
Just paid my 2019 IRP & IFTA registration online this morning.
All taxes are paid up.
Writing a $10,000 check this afternoon to pay off my trailer.
Have money in reserves to pay for my insurance renewal in full which is in December.
My maintenance acct is stocked up nicely.
At this point I could take off into next Spring if I wanted to. However, I plan to keep pace with my current work load, which isn't all that strenuous
I really want to attack the loan balance on my truck in the next 12 mos and try and get it paid off sooner than later, Lord willing and the creek don't rise!
2018 has been a GREAT year so far!

The I-5 corridor WA/OR is a tough lane. The lumber barons know they have carriers who run freight into this region by the balls, because the volume of produced commodities in this region going out is miniscule comparatively.
Thus, these carriers will run loads of lumber (which is one of the largest outbound products in this region) at cost or even at a loss to reposition their assets. It's called "back-haul". A very dirty and nasty term I refuse to use when negotiating with any freight broker
Generating the revenue per mile like I posted for a dry van takes work. It's not the best rate, but it's decent. Short mile freight is what I try and do.
You just gotta hit the pavement. Work the phone and establish contacts and relationships. That's all I can tell you. -
