Every day the questions are asked, how many miles can I run a week, in a van, in a straight truck, in a tractor, 1000, 1500, 2000, ............ ?
The answers always are , it depends, on your carrier, on your location ,on your expediting sense, on the economy.............etc.
I suggest that we use a new standard of measuring the choice of carriers, the state of expediting or the type of truck chosen ........etc.
It would be the TWIDDLE YOUR THUMBS INDEX. For instance, so and so had a TYT index last week of 100hrs, or stay away from that carrier, they averaged a TYT of 135.8 with their straight trucks! Or I can't &*%$#$@ believe that last week I had a TYT of 180 hrs.
Well you get the idea, using the TWIDDLE YOUR THUMBS INDEX might very well change how we view the state of expediting!
just my opinion
