Week 2nd October – 9th October
On Monday, October 2nd, we dispatched a truck equipped with a 48′ flatbed, en route to a delivery in the Dallas, TX area, following a recent 34-hour reset. We take great pride in presenting an exceptional accomplishment in our collaboration with this highly demanding truck driver. We tailored the loads to his preferences, resulting in an impressive achievement by following Monday finishing up in San Antonio TX: he covered 3,750 miles in a single week and generated a substantial revenue of $9,050.
Notably, the national flatbed rate per mile, as per truckstop.com, was $2.3 for that week, as well as for previous weeks. Nevertheless, we consistently managed to surpass this average, even when accounting for the included empty miles.
This driver is renowned as the fleet’s top performer, consistently covering 600-700 miles daily. His route spans from the scenic landscapes west of Pittsburgh, PA, all the way to the Colorado border. Furthermore, his home base is in Memphis, TN, where he insists on spending his 34-hour reset over the weekend with his family. We deeply respect this commitment and ensure it’s consistently upheld.
In addition to his impressive mileage and commitment, this driver’s unwavering dedication extends to his readiness to transport and secure almost any type of cargo, except for those that are impractical. This unwavering commitment significantly streamlines the dispatcher’s tasks, facilitating the attainment of weekly goals.
Here’s a breakdown of the loads they handled that week:
- Gainesville TX – Columbus NE: $1,850 | 71 miles Deadhead | 581 miles Loaded | $2.84 RPM | 46000lbs | Commodity: 12 Reels of Cable (no tarp)
- Concordia, KS, to Royse City, TX: $1,300| 153 miles Deadhead | 528 miles Loaded | $1.91 RPM | 25000lbs | Commodity: conveyor (no tarp)
- Ennis, TX, to Tulsa, OK: $800| 65 miles Deadhead | 290 miles Loaded | $2.25 RPM | 48000lbs | Commodity: Shingles (no tarp)
- Rogers, AR, to Louisville, KY: $2,100| 117 miles Deadhead | 572 miles Loaded |$3.05RPM | 48000lbs | Commodity: steel product (4′ tarp)
- Hamilton, OH, to San Antonio, TX: $3,000 | 134 miles Deadhead | 1240 miles Loaded | $2.18 RPM | 42000lbs | Commodity: construction material (6′ tarp)
As an additional information to this need to mention that average DH this driver was running was 108mi and average range of the loads on the loaded miles was 642mi. Also average weight he hauled through the week was 41800lbs which is not the best maybe but considering the total revenue he made we consider it as an great performance. We would like to mention that we could possibly have booked better RPM on some loads but we couldn’t be able to achieve this revenue in that case. As mentioned earlier that driver is a hard worker and trying to be home every weekend but still make good revenue. Driver and the company owner were very satisfied from what this truck achieved for the week. Another great thing about this week is that the route was out of the toll ways and we belive the driver didn’t spent more than $100 on a tolls.
