I get those too, Twilight Flyer. Problem is, I'm no where near where those good loads are.

 

Think I'm going to hook up with a company, this indie stuff ain't working out so cool. Got $2800 and am getting paid another $1800 once I finish this last 136 miles on a run from Yellowknife to Charlotte. Just need to get a few loans to help get a newer truck that doesn't break down every 500 miles. This run blew, got up to Yellowknife with nothing good back out, everything was $0.62 or lower. Get back to the southeast, do some nickel and diming to get some cash back.........

 

My last 2 runs were:

Going to look into a new truck soon as suggested.
Maybe Ill just run this one a few more trips since it's paid for.
How much is an 01 Volvo - in the ballpark ?

 

I'm in an '01 Pete now...went about $9K, I believe. Top speed is 67 and has 240 gallon tanks. I'm able to roll now. Of course, I did get my first speeding ticket in it. ops: Found out that you can safely go 4 mph over without risk of a ticket...I tried 10 and got jacked.

I've got that same clothing run you've got...getting $1.49, I believe. Will finish it up in a couple hours, then get something out to pick up more clothing. There's still a bunch of SEE company contract runs for that clothing to Yucca Mountian.

TF,
Yes sir same one. Neat. 67's better than my whopping 46 mph.
It's hard for me to get a speeding ticket :lol:

I did see an old FR8LNR CO today running 65 or so on I-4. Kewl ole truck and well taken care of. 8) 8)

BTTG - Im resting and need fuel. The contracts seem good. It doubled my cpm by joining SEE. I am curious when you are looking for loads,reading inbox,talking on cb (chat) etc.. is it considered activity and your driver doesn't rest until you log off ? Which prolong's the games delay time.

 

No the only thing that effects FP is driving,refueling,repairing your truck,everything else is resting.Refueling and repairing doesn't cost FP if you are in a company terminal city.

 

Mike

Not a bad start .. nice loads.
Thanks, Ill go look into the loans and truck.
appreciate the link too.

 

I just hope everyone keeps the original goal in mind,get as strong as we can get individually so we can start our own CAD company and kick some ass, including some CF ass.

 

JUst upgraded myself got the first W900 you can get put new tires on it and can do 75 now just have to get back to the states for a reload.
