I've only had three loads this week but the paid total loaded miles was 2219 miles. The last load delivered yesterday morning 115 miles from my house. Two of the three loads were weather related.
The first load picked up Monday night. When I got there the shipper was confused. He only had two loads going out. One he had already loaded and he was waiting on a truck for the other. That load was going to the same consignee I was dispatched to only problem was it was 40,000+ pounds. He made some calls and found out I was sent in to get one pallet that was needed asap because the scheduled truck was stuck somewhere due to weather.
The second load brought me to the Detroit area but was not weather related.
The third load picked up in Toledo and delivered in Long Prairie, MN. I picked it up at an LTL terminal. The load had originated in Delaware and was already behind on the scheduled delivery time due to the weather.
I'm at home, did some work on my van. I changed oil and greased the front end. Will be back in service this afternoon hoping for a load somewhere warm so I can wash my van.
