I have now been with ACT for 15 months. It is quite honestly the best company I have worked with since I started driving 25 years ago. I drive where I like it most, which is the Midwest and South, and we rarely if ever go to the Northeast where fuel prices are high, and we don't go out West. I like the family atmosphere and feel like I belong. If I ever need to call, my business leader knows me by name, and he knows how I like to run.
I am leasing a 2012 Kenworth T-660 with an APU already installed. It had 130,000 miles on it when I first got it. The lease is for 5 years and the balloon payment will be $12,000 if I choose to buy it. My average REAL fuel mileage for the past 166,000 miles is 7.34 MPG. I'm constantly trying to improve those numbers. Fuel mileage is KING.
My fixed costs are $715 per week, and I average $3400 per week in revenue. My average profit has been $1185 per week. My average paid miles per week has been 2459. That average includes several weeks off. When I'm running, the average is 2711 per week. These are MY averages. Others' averages may vary. I could run harder than I do, but I usually choose not to push it too hard. I enjoy the pace I've set for myself.
