S&S Transport

Day 4. I was told that hotel was booked for the next few days. So I checked out, and about 15 minutes later I was asked did I want to do a load or wait on the truck. I took the load because being in Grand Forks 5 days got old quick. So I took a taxi to the yard, and got a temporary truck assignment.

I picked up in Grand Forks and took a 44,500 load to Minneapolis for Friday delivery.

Friday, I delivered in Minneapolis and was supposed to go back to Grand Forks to get day cab to take to WI, but it was still in shop. So, I got a load 10 minutes away in Plymouth going to West Columbia, SC for Monday morning. 1220 miles and a 8400lb load. Once I got loaded I headed down to Janesville to meet Darrin to swap trucks. I was glad to get out of that T680, and get into this Cascadia

Thankfully, I chose to do the load to Minneapolis, or I probably would be stuck in Grand Forks until next week.

 

Today was a 650 mile day. Started in Lake Station, IN and now sitting in the welcome center off I 26 in SC. @LDYTRUCKER I seen you the other day on I 29 headed back to Grand Forks

 

After delivering my 1220 mile run, I deadheaded 270 miles to Whitakers, NC for a next day pickup. Near Kenly, Mike called and told me that the load was ready today. I got loaded and got a 1750 mile run to Winnipeg

 

I've read this whole thread but maybe
I missed it somewhere.
Did anybody ever mention what this
Job pays.

All the other stuff is great.
But is this a 8/9 hundred a week job
Or 13/14 hundred a week job.
Big difference between the two.

 

Depending on experience .42 to .46/mile with per diem up to 12 cents. As far as weekly pay, you can make at minimum 1100-1600 a week gross depending on how you run

 

I think they re trying to makeup for the very bad week last week. Once I deliver to Winnipeg Thursday, I will put truck in shop for a full service and then work on next weeks mileage. I think 3200 miles by Thursday is good enough for the week, then again they might make me short haul to MN again

 

Ain't nothing to be ashamed of.
Your lower end is a whole lot higher than a
Lot of us when we started.
I know people who've been out here 15 years
And still haven't hit 40cpm.
But they're happy where there at.

I'll take a few pennies less myself to
Run the long loads.
