7.5 days home this month??? I need to review that?
this isn't even what I would consider a "normal" month--- you can't operate in an adversarial manner and call these numbers typical-- I mean, I went home cleaned out my truck and came back ready to turn in the truck at the next pot-hole in the road, then because I forgot to "reset" my home time( after the drive-by(3day-soul searching) got a load to West Coast, then reset & refused another Non-productive run- ran back east-- then this dentist appointment( which required them to "perform")
Are you satisfied with those numbers? For me they would be barely adequate. I've got to hit at least 11000/month b4 I'm somewhat satisfied. Not happy, but satisfied.
@ KJ
First of all, on another topic-- I hope the mods can do some simple "cleanup" and delete that whole last page of posts over at Evertruckerr's Thread-- and can get that back open soon.
I can "live with" 10,000 miles a month-- it's not what I really like to "cheer" about-- I'd love to have 3000 miles every week for 12,000 a month-- when I started this thread it wasn't in hopes that the situation here at Shaffer was going to go in the toilet-- last year I was out west running "miles" almost every other week... but, the situation has changed....
my ideal target is 3,200 miles a week-- more than that( with reefer) is really hard to obtain EVERY week.
I ran for Westside Transport( dry Van) ( Short- Medium Haul)(Forced Dispatch)( Zone Dispatch) for 4 years and because of the short haul/forced dispatch/zone dispatch---- 10,000 total was about all ANY driver could reasonably expect( and be home that month)---
and that was really "hard work" with 7-8 short trips working irregular hours trying to get them all to add up to 2,800+( remember if you're going to still be home 3 days) those other 3 weeks need to be "good" to make up for the short(HOME) week.
