Stan's Inc., Alpena, SD

Ran down to Underwood, IA. Next pick up is in Laurens, IA and heads l back to Alpena. Then grab a short load in Aberdeen, SD and bring it back to Alpena. Will put me at 898 miles at the end of tomorrow. I'm new and just starting so don't expect much. I don't mind doing shorter runs when they are planned like this. Will continue to report how I am doing. I got a real good feeling about this place.

 

Basically rinse and repeat. Finished the Laurens, IA load. Currently getting loaded at the meat place in Aberdeen, SD. Tomorrow I will go to Underwood, then to Laurens, and then return to Alpena by Saturday morning. So far I like how things are ran here. Can't wait to stretch my legs on a longer run.

 

Sleeping in Laurens. After I get back to Alpena, I will go back to Underwood. Lots of out and back. I don't mind though especially when I can rack up miles. My week one miles will end at 1615. Not bad for starting on Wednesday. Pay period runs from Sunday till Saturday so the per weekly miles I share will be that way. With the pre-planned loads I have. I will be at 1300 by Tuesday evening for next weeks miles.

 

Sitting in the yard starting up a 34. Miles for the week ended up being 2924, but that isn't the pay period miles obviously as I already said just want to let y'all know how much miles I did my first set of days.

It's nice to stay busy. If I was going to sit around I would stay home. I am really liking things so far. Still too early to say but it's nice to be treated like a professional instead of just some number on a screen. Chomping at the bit for a longer run, however as long as these miles stay consistent I don't mind sticking around this little triangle up here.

 

Finish my 34 up in the AM. Start back up with a run to Underwood, IA. Hope to be set loose but we will see.

 

Made it back to Alpena. Running to Laurens,IA and back tomorrow. Shaping up to hit 3000 miles for the week. Not too bad for a start especially after how things were at swift. I am starting to think I made a good move and I am glad that I did.

 

Week #2 3190 miles.

Been smooth running. Going to the same places over and over but the miles are there and I am happy about that.

 

Shut it down at the Walmart in New Ulm, MN. Got a morning delivery in Mankato. Then drove empty to Alpena to grab a load delivering in Underwood, IA, Monday morning.

 

Starting up here parked at Cubby's in Onawa, IA. Deliver to Underwood, IA, grab totes, and then take them back to Alpena. I'll start my reset this evening and run back out Wednesday morning.

I am really enjoying things so far. The runs have been short but they add up. Things are easy-going and fairly stress free. Couldn't ask for more after dealing with Swift for 3.5 years. Regardless I will continue to report how things are going on here.

 

Sounds like a dedicated run lol. .
