My Sammons experience

You and me both, learning to speak and understand spanish is on my list of things to do.. lol

I will post up my numbers from april when i get home so everyone can see how im doing and i plan on doing that every month..

I dropped the loader in Casper yesterday and picked this load of coil pipe up heading for MT no a huge run for the weekend but pays decent and gives me something and is better than sitting all weekend..

 

2 things, 1st you shoulda secured that like this:













and 2nd i bet you wont be takeing another load of that crap lol, notice how hard it is to get going? how much you can feel a crosswind? and worst of all the 3mpg that, that crap gives ya? Might be a little better with a volvo but a 379 with a cat yeilds 3.5mpg with that stuff on the trailer catches wayyyy to much wind

ill keep the securement in mind if it happens again, and the slightest breeze i feel oh well i can go slow with it and hopefully save a little fuel

 

well here is my numbers for April, this is only a half month and with that their is no trailer rent which would have been $440 and no finance charge

Balance owed at beginning of period $79,575 ( truck plus secrument)

Freight bill earnings to truck $8,544 1.53 Per mile

Total Operating Expenses ( includes take home money, Fuel, Licensing, Trailer rent, Maintenance, and Finance charge) $3,928.85 .70 CPM

Escrow this period $44.26 (cap at $2,000)

Progress this Period $ 4,615.15 .82 CPM

Balance at end of this period $75,004.11

Loaded miles this period 5,601

so you can see progress is made and you know what you owe

 

Im home for a few days and truck is getting somethings fixed while im here and under my 30 day warranty point..

everything is going well

Monday im bouncing to Tacoma to grab a partial load, sad a partial pays better than a full load of lumber, hopefully will find something to fill out the trailer..

Here is a load of stone i grabbed to come home with. hope you all have a great weekend

 

Numbers look good enjoy the home time and everyone have a safe holiday weekend

 

Staying in the western 11 will make it more of a challengein the L/P program. In many cases lower rates and higher deadhead but you aredoing alright now but think about crossing the Mississippi in June it mighthelp your numbers.

 

i havn't been on here in awhile, well May didn't end all that well, but things that are exspected, the shop had my truck 3 days longer than they said they would, and had a few loads cancel, so i grabbed what i could before the long weekend and did 2 good paying loads of foam panels, from Kent to Chelan and one from Kent to Walla Walla, then took to storage cans down to Los Alamos NM, that place is a little weird, anyways got off loaded their, and went to Albuquerque for the night freight was looking scarce and only being able to put on 47000

I posted my truck on Internet truck stop, and got a call this morning for a generator on a trailer 10'6" tall all legal so i bounce up to grab it and well yeah it is 13'6" tall anyways after a few calls and got the okay from the buyer to take the exhaust off im loaded and headed to Tacoma and have 2 more loads booked for next week so should be productive "i hope"

as for May i made a whopping $27 truck payment, good news i didn't go backwards but nothing like i want to see. so hopefully june is better and im starting to get the hang of picking my loads and such

here is a picture of the generator

 

I live in Texas, so this area and east would be good as far as freight goes? I'm really interested in what your offering.

 

im not offering anything this is just my experience as things go... if you looking for answers check out Sammons face book page their is alot of drivers on their
