 The most productive drivers are productive because they set themselves up for their next load. Your production goal when solo is at least 450 safe miles/day.

 

Review key steps for being productive:

  • Start your week early by leaving early on Sunday
  • On Monday morning, be at the consignee with a full 14 hours available
  • Deliver on time or early-being late causes delays
  • Service your truck on time and inspect your equipment daily-breakdowns cause delays
  • Trip planning-plan route, where to fuel, where to sleep/take breaks, etc.
  • Don’t take excessively long breaks beyond 10 hours—manage your off duty time-get your sleep
  • Don’t turn down loads
  • Be flexible on your home time

Have trainee repeat.

Practice key steps for being productive throughout training.
