Should be starting Roehl in late February

Dispatch apparently had a change in plans for me and didn't remember that I requested to be home on the 26th so I could be at home from the 27th-1st. I relayed my Ky load off at Ellenwood and picked up a load that delivers Tuesday at 0100 in Hartford, CT. Someone is apparently going to pick this load up at my house early tomorrow morning. So I got to spend Christmas at home which was nice but it will probably mean an earlier departure which will mean missing my daughters birthday and New Years but we will see. All in all a nice time at home. Probably 5-6 inches of snow fell last night but the temp is decent so I hope no ice develops. Got the old hound dogs inside sitting next to the wood stove and enjoying life snoozing in the warmth Cooked up a really nice seafood gumbo last night and should be even tastier today. Hope every one is having a nice holiday.

 

You and I think alot alike

 

Calculated my "yearly" pay from prorating the last 7.5 months out to a year time. I substracted my training pay from the gross and added my estimated 4th quarter bonus to get the estimate which should be fairly close to actual. While it ain't doctor pay not too bad for a "first year" driver overall. I also posted an update on my blog for my year thus far with the various data to give you an idea of what you might expect.

2010 Gross (April - December) --- 28035.88
Training pay (April - mid May) --- (-1375.00)
4th quarter bonus estimate ------ 290.00
-----------------------------------------------
Adjusted gross ----------------- 26950.88/7.5*12
Adjusted yearly gross ---------- 43121.41
Perhaps a little more as the last 3 months will be at 0.33/mile
First three months 0.30/mi
Last 4.5 months 0.32/mi

 

Heading back out tomorrow. Picking up a load near Statesville, NC heading to Eau Claire, WI so a nice run out of the gate, that is if the weather is alright up there as I haven't checked yet.
