Stepping Out With My Own Numbers

Booked up ending the month at 10227 total miles and 23,078.00 in revenue. This will be my best yet. I had a slow start revenue wise and several big delays that cost me a few days total. A few big money loads made up for it though. Comes out to 2.25 a mile all miles and deadhead was 12% this month.

Working on an interesting gig with an LTL broker in NJ for Friday that will kick off next month strong. Do a few picks in NJ, take it to their facility, they unload and reload with out bound freight, various lanes, and multiple stops. He says if I'm willing to put in the work to do it, I won't regret it. He's going to touch base with me Thursday on the options, my go to guy in Arkansas knows the guy and referred me to him since I'm over there so much.

 

Another interesting thing was my letter from FMCSA saying I passed my new entrant audit. They had requested everything but a DNA sample a short time ago and found the documentation provided was good enough that they didn't need to do an on site audit. Big relief, I wasn't looking forward to taking time off just to have a chat with an FMCSA stooge.

 

Company called Pyramid Transportation. They have other offices. This East Coast/Mid Atlantic office is the one that's fits what I'm looking for. Not a very big operation.

 

What? I don't think it's that bad.

 

Sounds like it wasn't a good experience. I'll be talking with him Thursday. If it's a good deal, I'll take it, but, if I can do just as well with a couple short runs like I usually do, I'll just stick to do that. Always looking for an opportunity.

 

Oh. You're probably right. This will be my one freebie.
