    I'm sure he's making plenty of money. I doubt that route is strictly compensated per mile if you're doing all that work. If it was, you'd be making peanuts.

    How does your contactor compensate you for all your yard time and hooks/drops?

    I made a little over 600 last night. And it was only a little over 31k lbs. Not a terrible not but not the easiest.

    I don't pay any attention to that stuff, but that's pretty cool. I'm usually top 3 for xata so I get my bonus.
    We've had a few on the DL. This was actually my first week back on full duty. I had a back injury earlier this year that's been holding me down. I was riding with guys and helping unload for a while
     
    Mike2633 Thanks this.

    I don't live and die by it because I have some reservations about some of it's accuracy. Usually I get some kind of "bonus" as well, I've never not gotten a couple hundred bucks, there's a few guys who are killing it with the "bonus", but usually everyone is around the couple hundred dollar range.

    Let's see a list of the companies you have, if you wouldn't mind please. I may be able to get you some more.

    @road_runner , we don't have Pro stickers, but I do have a couple cool dolly stickers and a baseball hat that I can send you if you like.

    Trying to make pickups in route is a good way to screw yourself.

    I have

    ODFL, FxF, Reddaway, YRC, Dayton, R&L, and ABF. Gonna try to snag a NPT and MME pro over the next two weeks.

    What would really make my day is if someone found a RoadRunner set. LOL

    My deliveries werr already done. They wanted me to start doing the pickups and push my lunch break off to later. Told them nope and took my lunch break before starting pickups. Having to get the lift gate fixed after two days of telling them which put me an hour behind and wasted time is not my ####ing problem, I am taking my #### lunch.

    First off, thanks for sending me your stickers. Literally half was donated via mail. The gesture means a lot to me. Additionally, there is no way in hell I would be able to obtain those for my collection if I didn't have you guys.

    It seems like a silly hobby, but if you have something, I will send you my PO Box address. You don't have to put down a name or return address.

    Thanks in advance
