You were apparently educated when they were still teaching the "old math" ....
Obviously, the "new math" is much better for one's bottomline ....

ovm part of being allowed on this thread is to tell where you are at i am in san antonio. so pony up buddy
I like this new math. I just deadheaded home from Baraboo, WI. I have a dentist appointment Monday morning. Um, 225 negative deadhead miles... wow this load paid almost $3.00/mile!
I'm thinking about after the dentist thing I may just go OOS until Friday. Does this new math work towards my in-service time positively in a negative way? Or does it count on the positive side in a negative way?

You might wish to consider posting the highlighted portion above as part of your signature where it will show on every post you have made .... so that the innocent and unsuspecting who read here are adequately forewarned .....
Well, it's certainly true:
There is nothing like the pride of personal achievement ...

Take your odometer reading from today, subtract the odometer reading from January 1 to get your total miles driven. Then, from that figure subtract your loaded miles for the year. What you have left over is deadhead miles. Divide your deadhead by your total miles and that's your DH percentage. Some of you will no doubt be shocked, shocked I tell you, at your DH percentage.

Yes .... but the real question is: what door does it unlock .... ?
Sorry ... but I really wasn't pointing out any spelling mistakes - it's you that's putting that there ....As for the misspelling, yeap i am just a dummy and I haven't read the book "spelling for dummies" yet....
The only reason for the highlight was to emphasize one thing, and one thing only:
You don't worry about your bottomline ...
'Nuff said ....

To say that "You don't worry about your bottomline ..." and then chase freight is at the very least disingenuous and misleading. Add to that the highly massaged deadhead and grossly misleading "per mile" pay comments, and it's all a massive disservice to newbies reading here and trying to get a handle on the business. Clearly, the motivation of these types of posts are self-serving in that the self-aggrandizement (and cheesecake distributions) are meant to curry favor in the eyes of a carrier and to boost an ego in the eyes of other expediters.

That kinda puts things into a different perspective. I'm thinking about driving back to Baraboo for the weekend. But that would be more bad deadhead miles. I'm so confused. I should probably delay my vacation until the end of January and keep it to about 10 days total as planned.
I have a really cool rechargeable L.E.D. flashlight I keep in my van. The light it produces is a bit harsh, but not near as harsh as the light of reality you have shone upon this deadhead mileage business. Turtle, you're like a major buzz kill!
