Week 9th October – 15th October
On the 9th of October, this month, we had an empty truck with a dry van trailer stationed in Hillsdale, MI. The driver was enjoying his weekend at home and geared up for an early Monday morning start. Our team orchestrated a remarkable achievement, securing a gross revenue of $7,250 in a market that was averaging approximately $1.9 per mile for a dry van. However, this truck defied the norm, being dispatched at an impressive rate of $2.28 per mile for the week. It’s worth noting that the driver covered 3,175 miles throughout the week, maintaining impeccable punctuality on every load. The exceptional teamwork between the driver and our dispatcher played a pivotal role in this outstanding performance.
This driver operates under a lease-to-purchase arrangement and consistently aims for substantial weekly revenue. Our dispatcher recognizes the necessity for precision due to the highly demanding market conditions. The driver expertly selected and booked loads, meticulously calculating factors like trip miles and destination to achieve outstanding revenue and an impressive RPM.
The journey began in a favorable location in Michigan and concluded in Atlanta, GA, a region not typically advantageous for a dry van. However, Atlanta’s potential is unlocked when one knows how to select and navigate the right loads. For context, the load this driver secured for the following week out of Atlanta, GA, will bring him back close to Ohio for $1,350 with an RPM of $1.91, scheduled for delivery next Tuesday.
Returning to this week, let us unveil how the driver generated $7,250. Here’s a breakdown of the loads handled during that week:
