    Apparently it's just to post his runs and miles.

    May have seen you in Amherst, Ohio a couple days ago around noon. Caught my eye because usually do not see too many Shaffer trucks here.

    In my 7 or so months at Shaffer I made it to Nebraska twice and Colorado once. Didn't go anymore west than that.
    Was in Pennsylvania at least 500 times

    Yeah, but you work 365 or thereabouts don't you? Stop and smell the roses or at least the coffee.

    Didn't you get angry about not being able to run 450+ miles every day?

    450 per day at Heyl and Lessors would have been necessary to meet my objective due to their pay scales. Possible with long haul companies but neither gave me that. I believe both were around 425. At Shaffer's pay scale, 400 miles per day reaches my objective.
     
    freightwipper Thanks this.

    That's a fair assessment. What is your monthly average miles with Shaffer?

    I've always been fair. I haven't been here at Shaffer long but annually I plan to give my employer 305-310 days per year. That works out to 26 days per month. I had averaged 438 per day with Crete but will likely be 410 or so with Shaffer. So approx 10,500 per month. Could be a little more or less.
     
    Wild Murphy Thanks this.
