Superior Carriers Weekly Mileage

I will try to give an unvarnished look at Superior Carriers. Basically, I intend to limit my posts to the strictly objective data, and what could be more objective than miles and loading/unloading.

I have been with Superior for about a year. Since that time the common theme has been slow freight. Surprisingly, Superior has continued to hire new (inexperienced, fresh out of school) drivers. The cynics states they keep hiring in anticipation of an exodus of experienced drivers growing tired of 1,300 mile weeks. The optimist thinks management is anticipating an uptick in business. I am somewhere in between.

Note I will only include rounded weekly mileage and the number of loads delivered.

 

June 15 -22
<1500 miles

3 unloads
1 Trip to NYC

Uneventful week.
No dispatch for Monday June 23. Will call in Monday morning.

 

week beginning 6/23/2008

2062 miles (appx half deadheading)
2 unloads (both pump offs)
4 sleeper berths
1 hour detention

 

I got busy and forgot about this thread. been staying reasonably busy while trying to get as much summer home time as possible.

No real complaints other than superior should give us a meal allowance for canada. $10 cigs, $5 to fill up a coffee thermos, and $9 McDonald "Value" meals.
