Im trying not to run hard but its that time of year............

i have 10 more payments on my truck and i can relax a lil bit.....

ran 2250 miles last week.... started everyday 0430..home everyday by 1530..... ive taken it easy plenty of weeks just running 1100-1200 miles then there are weeks i run 2400-2600 but still get home everyday

 

I bought my truck new and picked it up in Dec of 1998, it is a 99 KW, I am the only one who has ever driven it.

It just turned 607,000 miles, I paid it off in May 2003 8) 8)

I ran 135,000 miles the first year and then less and less each year after that.
I'm lazy and I like it that way. Last year I ran 67,000 miles, still grossed over 100K 8)

 

I have 2 425 Cats bolted together

 

I like your style! 8) I reckon you got to lay down a nice patch of rubber so you tires got traction huh? :lol:

You know, instead of starting another thread, I'd like too add a question. How long do you stay out? and what's the reason?

 

Well, I only run 2,000 miles a week or so- though I've ranged between 500 and 2750. I get paid by the hour for line 4, and mileage for line 3. My company has zero tolerance for overly creative logbooking.

I am rarely dispatched in a manner that requires any hard rolling, though I have done 700+ mile legal days just to get myself back to get another run in before the weekend or to get back before the weekend (I usually have weekends off and burn my 70 M-F).

-p.

 

3 to 6 days, mostly 3 lately!
Reasons? :roll:
1) As strange, as it sounds, i do have life, outside of a trucking! :P

2) I only move, when it worth it, since i can afford it(no, i'm not a "hobby trucker), just didn't see a reason to waste my truck, and time!

I could think of a couple more... if you want me to!

 

Ok, that's what I'm looking for. You guys are making good money without spending weeks on the road. 8)

 

I kinda like to run fairly hard for 2 weeks or so and stay home for 1 full week. Melon season in Florida , Ga I run REAL hard @ $2.60 mile plus for 5-6 weeks and take a good vacation at the end. Costa Rica, Cabo san Lucas or somewhere that's hard to pronounce. It's usually laid back, the gals are hot and the beer is coooooold.
