    Roadcall.. No worries, that's what these threads are for.

    I'm sitting in Lincoln NE.. making my Monday morning delivery. .

    I left KC on Wednesday and after this delivery I'll finish the pay period with 2,500 miles. .No complaints lol. With the deficit last week, I will have a $1,200 settlement Friday. . Not bad for being off a week and a half :)

    Stay safe. .(I tried calling ya Bill.. No answer. .I had a question about a place you delivered)

    Roadcall. As a company driver you'll be in a t-660. Probably a 2012 or a 2013. I'm in a '12 that had a little under 160,000 miles on it. I hate my apu. it just never works right. starting out as a company driver getting a feel for the company and for the freight. . And for how things work is an excellent idea
     
    RoadCall and Jaguar115 Thank this.

    I was wondering, does ACT have different terminal locations or only in MO? Just wondering where I could live if I made that leap. I'm a west coast driver, but I'm done with CA. We are looking to move somewhere cheaper to live and I like what I'm seeing on this ACT thread. Thanks for the thread, very informative.

    ACT is located in Liberty MO..The shop is in Kansas City Mo right off I435 next to world's of fun.

    It's a small company. .250-300 trucks (usually closer to 250)..Call ACT and ask for Marsha. . Or if you look at my profile her cell number is listed there. . Best advice, talk to her, explain your situation..Where your thinking of moving etc.

    Unless your thinking of moving to Alaska, Florida, Canada or Mexico. .ACT is fairly accommodating. . The Midwest/Ohio valley is our primary running area.

    Good luck and welcome

    Yeah Yeah...I had already made two wrong turns, had to back the wrong way down a 1 way street and blind side into the dock. . Dang I'm good :)

    I'm staged outside of Augusta GA..I was going to deliver early but I received a pre plan loading at the same place I'm delivering. .

    The load won't be ready until tomorrow morning so instead of fighting traffic and trying to find a place to park. .I decided to be lazy.

    I head to Belvidere IL for Monday but was told it can deliver early. .(860 miles)

    I finished last week with 2,400 miles. . Averaged 7.0 mpg.. my settlement today $1,650 ( I'll have to check the hard copy of my settlement to figure out why it's more than I had figured)..I'll finish this pay period with the same miles..

    stay safe

    Yes they do keep me moving. It's rare that i sit for any length of time. I just turned in 4 trips for the past week so I believe i'll have a pretty good paycheck come Friday. Don't ask me how many miles I've ran because I didn't think to check on that earlier. Lol. I'd say about 2500 - 2800 miles. Anywhere around 2700 miles and I'm pretty happy with my paycheck. Good night y'all, drive safe.
    Btw. Hi JEFF! !!
