time

so far this year looks like i will break my record of 14,500 min's stop at red lights , stop signs and making left turns
with 6 months almost gone by at 7,500 mins so far this year
have had my sprinter 16 mon's and will hit 80,000 in next couple of days
running local is hard work

Some might say you have too much time on your hands to calculate all that.

I agree, local work can be quite rewarding time & money wise.

 

[BobWolf]

How much you take home is whats important.

 

[geo]

it's almost end of nov and have almost broken my record at 14,200 for sitting at red lights , stop sign and trying to make left turns for the year

I wondered if it's just my imagination that it seems worse every year!

 

[Darmstadter]

I have one stoplight in particular that I seem to get stuck at every time. I've been wondering how much of my life has been spent there.

Looking myself to start working hard like you next year whether its with the company I'm with now or some other company that runs SoCal local. I just don't want to be over the road anymore, even thou I'm happy with the change to expediting I did a year and a half ago.

 

[Lawrence]

George,

i would so hate stop lights! That's allot of time data collecting too!

 

[jrcarroll]

OK Geo. Just how do you come up wth all that time? stop watch?

 

[rollincoal]

Wow... and I thought many of the numbers I meticulously keep tabs on were overkill... Minutes at redlights and stopsigns is a new one - I am impressed!! I don't have the time to keep tabs on that though... LoL

 

[geo]

on my gps keeps track of time stop and add that to book and at end of week and move it to next column then for total of the month just like keeping track of how much fuel you buy
it all started in 92 when a roberts express disptacher ask why are you running late
said i've gone thru 238 red lights and caught 63 of them at 3.5 mins each you do the math
from my house to pickup up route 13 to 95
they started it all and they though i was being wise guy

 

[rollincoal]

That's funny right there, a tad obsessive compulsive, but funny nonetheless

 

[geo]

van is in shop down for parts. broke engine mount so looks like finish year at 14,900 mins for year
they found that while changing out a part and doing brakes and holidays mess things up
before this happen look like i would hit 15,000
so have something to shoot for next year

 

[geo]

i made my goal of 15,000 mins stop at stop signs , making left turns and red lights
as my van was in shop did think i was going to make it
but working my part time job was able to make it
picking up customers sprinter for service
