Stepping Out With My Own Numbers

This is the reason I never park in a no parking area. Even if someone seen it, would they be at fault? I work a lot of stranger hours and people park all over the place where you can't even get out of the parking spot with out waking someone up that is parked in the way. Plan parking better or just go on PC and get to a safe spot. How much is that gonna cost? Turning into Insurance or eating it?

 

Still looking like pushing 10k, plus rental trailer. I’ll be getting insurance involved.

 

Got the rental and he’s rolling. Estimate was 8945.00. Insurance already said they’ll pay and I’ll pay the 2500.00 deductible. Went pretty smooth. It will be down 10-12 days.
Got everyone rolling to start off November. Rates are still going strong. So, hopefully it continues through the end of the year. Trying to pump up the bank account as much as possible. Doing the leased to a carrier thing really did a number on me and I’m trying to reach where I should have been.

 

Wonder how much they bump insurance up for that. Might have been better to just pay out of pocket?

 

I’ll find out next year. The physical damage isn’t what kills you, it’s the liability. Cargo and physical damage aren’t much at all.

 

To cap it all off...I have to drop the Chevy off in the morning to get a couple recalls done. Dude tries to pass me on a double yellow, in town, takes my driver side mirror off, on the pickup. He ran, I almost caught him, but the light changed and I couldn’t get through it in time. It’s crazy, it’s like I’m a magnet for BS.

 

These guys out here running wild thinking they have super wide latitude on HOS exemptions will be in for a rude awakening when the lawyers get involved. You're much better off to ignore that nonsense and continue running a tight ship.

 

Yep Was talking to a company driver the other day and he was doing that as well. I told him I am pretty sure he was abusing that and would get caught if he got pulled over. Amazing!

 

Got me a doozy this time. Picked up in Rogers, AR, 3 stops in Brooklyn, one in Yonkers, and the final near Albany. It sucks, but 1647 miles and 6600 on the rate. The stops in Brooklyn are all within a few miles of each other. It’s been a few months since I went into NYC.

 

Should be fun. How many days on the load?
