Popular Post RowdyRebel Posted October 18, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted October 18, 2016 P/U @ 4946 Del @ 4680 on the same street Odometer @ pickup = 64082.2 Odometer @ delivery = 64082.7 I think that's a new record for me. Anything shorter has always been intra-plant. This was a shipment to an outside company. Hell, they could've saved the truck freight charges and just made the delivery with their forklifts. Oh well...I guess if they'd done that, I wouldn't have had anything to do today. 7 Quote When approaching a 4-way stop, the vehicle with the biggest tires has the right of way!

BillyT Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Had a 10 mile load once weighed 300 lbs paid 15 bucks a mile! Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/47321-long-haul-driving-today/#findComment-349175 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowdyRebel Posted October 19, 2016 Author Share Posted October 19, 2016 My previous best was $7.70/loaded mile. That one was a 6.5 mile haul from the rock quarry, across the river to the state highway they were widening. Do that 14-15 times, throw $100 worth of fuel in the tanks, and be home 8-9 hours after I left. Sure do miss jobs like that...pay great and close to home. I guess I'll find out what my new personal best is in a couple weeks when I get paid for it. Quote When approaching a 4-way stop, the vehicle with the biggest tires has the right of way!

Never went more than 20 miles!
