Paid miles weekly total

Yeah, I already heard. I got contacts at May still

 

Joker, you mentioned above you spent a portion of 2012 at JB Hunt. I'm scheduled to join Hunt Intermodal in Chicago orientation on 4/22. I've been driving for about a year. Last six months driving tanker in North Dakota oil fields (extreme conditions!). JBH is paying 40 cpm. They tell me I'll regularly gross over $1k weekly. I live in Twin Cities area and not sure May would be available to me. Tell me about your thinking in the change to May please. Would like to hear about your experience. Thanks!

 

JBH looked good to me. My wife has become somewhat disabled and I need to be able to get home more than I do now. 6 months in oil fields I've been home twice. Money is pretty good but it costs me about $1,700 a month to live here. I send home about $3k a month after insurance ($330 for the family but deductables are pretty high). I'd rather make a bit less and get home every couple of weeks for a few days.
they wanted me to ride the grey dog to orientation. I said "no thanks". I can fly for less than a hundred bucks and be there in a little over an hour.

 

That's still really good for May!

I hesitate to post this because I don't want to seem like I'm trying to "up you one", however, my paid miles for March were right at 13, 000. Plus, I was home 10 nights in March.

A lot of what I'm doing now is dropping and hooking, which makes a huge difference for mile average. I never sit waiting for my next dispatch. Usually my dm is telling what direction to head in after I drop or unload beforehand.

My job is like stealing candy from a baby

 

Congrats there Joker. I always heard that loop was a fairy tale.....

Say hi to White Mocha and Mr. Boyd on Saturday for me. Sadly I won't make the wedding. Found out my sister is getting married this summer, and I am going to be a groomsman. So now I HAVE to go to her wedding
