Bedbugger revenue contest

[BanditsCousin]

Ok, as you may have read in the new drivers section, I am holding a bedbugger revenue challenge. The race is on to see which owner operator can bring in the most revenue. This includes fsc, packing, accessory charges and waiting pay, amongst any others that are official compensation. Let me introduce the contenders:

1. Our very own Rev. Vassago. Thats right folks, our favorite Graebel driver is gonna bring out the big guns and lay it on the line. Sharp with the tongue on the forums, and sharper at running a profitable business, will he bring it? or leave it?

2. Teal 95 KW is gonna be rockin the house. Sporting a bad ass W900 and the face only a mother could love, he'll be representing for United Van Lines? although technically, hes still leased to Graebel. Get it together man You know what thy say, don't mess with texas, and hes a prime example.

3. You guessed it, BanditsCousin will be flying the United Van Lines colors for an agent out of Chicago. If hes anything like Pops, he'll fill a truck to the gills, along with the bank account. Originator of the contest, and full time chick magent. He's always wearing sunglasses, even at night, cuz the sun never sets on a bad ass!

Post your comments here, and, if you feel ZESTY enough, feel free to take part in the poll. The contest will be updated monthly, and if the moderators dig it, maybe we can have a sticky for the summer. if not, I'll be the post ***** that I am and keep it at the top 8)

Gentleman, start your engines! (after you warm the glow plugs)

Hopefully he picks a company before the contest is over......

You cared enough to post here. Now be a sport and at least vote in the poll. I'm leading in the polls, but, then again, I voted for myself lol.

[Rev.Vassago]

I had some time to kill today, so I figured I'd get some practice in. Hope that random person doesn't mind that I loaded their house on my trailer.



First load out of the starting block for me is a little 24,000 lb jobby going from Trenton, NJ to the Denver area. I've also got the option to squeeze in up to 3 cars, which aren't included in the weight. Each one will be an extra grand, so I'm hoping to get 2 of em, and leave the pickup truck for the car carrier.

Although, If I take the pickup truck, I can drop the decking down right behind the cab, and run it right to the tail. That would be a personal best for me: 24,000 lbs, and three cars.

My current personal best is 16,000 lbs, 3 cars, and a motorcycle.

Thats definitely a weird O/S tier! Is that a particle board bookcase up top?

[Rev.Vassago]

Yup, and it's filled, too....

Stack em high, and tight!

[BanditsCousin]

Tomorrow we'll start, sound good? Sunday being the first day of the week and all.

Rule: Any shipment ALREADY on the van does not count. Only shipments loaded Sunday and after count. Enjoy your jumpstart, i start Wednesday with 28K+ going to SC. I collect waiting time while the trailer sits in the yard and I begine loading a second one 8)

Grrrr........Watiting time.

Question - are you gonna be powering both loads?

[BanditsCousin]

Fo shizzle. I don't have a co-driver, nor do I have a 2nd truck. i do some local work when in town too, so that will help boost my revenue, even though locals pay crappy

I don't take days off in the summer. Thats how I roll 8)

UPDATE! Teal 95 KY (I mean KW ) is North bound and down to United in Chicagoland! Just got off the phone with that crazy cat. He might even be my labor mid week :wink:

[BanditsCousin]

1. Shrink wrap job on the pink recliner looks awsome 8)

2. Pad on the bookcase has exposed wood

3. Holy Tape on the pads Batman 8)

I'm not one to talk, especially since I haven't posted a pic of my load jobs yet

[Rev.Vassago]

1. Shrink wrap job on the pink recliner looks awsome 8)

That's why you should never trust labor to shrink your furniture

2. Pad on the bookcase has exposed wood

Worth the risk of a $50 claim just to not have to pull it out again

3. Holy Tape on the pads Batman 8)

I only use tape - every time I pull the bands out, they seem to magically disappear.

[BanditsCousin]

Try finding labor that actually knows how to use bands, and contact me immediately! They are a dying breed....

[Teal 95 KW]

Holy blown up thread, Batman. I'd post pics of my loadjobs, but I'm too busy making them perty to take pictures. I have a feeling I'm going to be getting the late start in this contest, although according to the agent, I should be loaded and off before the end of this week...Maybe the $50.00 BanditsCousin gives me for helping him load his 28k into a 28' pup trailer will help. Gotta start somewhere right? The only saving grace is that my truck is faster, so I should be able to turn it quicker. <pray>

[Teal 95 KW]

I ONLY use bands. I voted for Jeff...but apparently after doing so I realized I have no farkin votes

[BanditsCousin]

Its not that much faster, if at all :wink: Remember, I am sporting the O/O spec T600 shortly, not the governed Ryder Columbia.

You know the deal, $3 an hour or $.25 per 100 to load, and $.20 per hundred when you unload for me lol.

[Teal 95 KW]

Oh, trust me Jeffy-poo. I've got a crisp Benji in my back pocket that says you can't hang. My truck is o/o spec'd doofus, the guy whom had it before me used to yank a bull rack around with it. I've got a few little modifications that I keep under wraps to keep me ahead of the game. The dented fuel tank mod wasn't my doing, so I can't take the credit for that one, lol.

[Back on the Road]

You guys are killing me.... Not counting revenue, I got you all beat, Started my TT career with Mayflower, hauling at the age of 18 running Interstate, and yes, was illegal as all #### but never once got my ### in a pickle. Did I say nt counting revenue ? Darn I wish I worked off percentage back then. Oh Rev, by the way, that load on your truck sure did bring back memories..... (Good and bad) Do you guys pack also or let the agent send there packers out before you pick up the load ? I had to do it all :wink:

I see the money is good bed-bugging but I will go back to general freight. Now get back to work you Bed buggers, and watch out for those jelly rolls, see the old memories are coming back, he he he.

[BanditsCousin]

When I'm at home at my agent, pack and loads are not uncommon, but they are usually packed up and ready to roll when i pick up backhauls on the road.

[Rev.Vassago]

You both are gonna have me beat on speed - I've got the truck governed at 65 on the foot, 70 on the cruise. But unlike you, I'm not heading out, and heading right back. I go wherever the highest paying load takes me.
