    I think he does. I know I have mine setup that way. I stay out about three months by choice and take a week off. By the time home time comes around, I'm set not to miss a paycheck. Grant it, the check after home time is usually my low mileage week. It's all about the timing of scanning in the BOLs. Most of the time I can hold one or two back to cover the week off.

    I just held then until I wanted to drop them for whatever pay period I wanted.
    It's the same thing with scanning. I scan even I know for sure I want to be paid for that particular trip on the next settlement.

    Yes, I realize it comes to the same amount over time, but my bank transfers X amount into other accounts, so I like to make sure I have what I need to convert those transfers. JCT only allows 3 accounts to direct deposit...I have more than that.

    I still get nasty messages from accounting about scanning trip so & so that delivered at least 5 days ago. I just ignore them

    My goal is to hit 10k miles per quarter. If I do that with 3 weeks to go....extra time off. LOL.

    That seems kinda of low. That's only 3,333 miles a month.

    i think he meant 30,000 a quarter. 2150 a week is just short of that. Don't i need 30,000 miles to qualify for the $0.02 per mile bonus as well?

    I do take a lot of time off, but that is a bit extreme, even for me. LOL

    OK guys.....I need some help/back up here. I have had it with drivers dropping trailers that are not DOT compliant. Since May 30th, I have picked up 13 trailers, 7 of which were non-DOT compliant. That is absolutely insane!
    What I am asking you guys, give me some feedback about this problem from your own experiences. Please DO NOT EMBELLISH OR EXAGGERATE. I need accurate information. I am firing off an email to management concerning this issue. No names will be used, other than mine (obviously) but i would like to hear from some of you.
    If you don't feel comfortable posting in here, pm me.

    Thanks
