    Finally got a decent weeks millage , 3384 and I sat for alittle over 2 and a half days , so I got some detention coming on that . But it was mainly all drop and hook loads . Almost all major hwy so I ran over 600 miles some days .
    I wish to do more , but with a big company like this that is most likely the most I will see , but whatever its better then average of some other places ...

    Tangerine - What's the least number of miles you ever got? What's your average?

    Ugh , least was about 1300 .
    Now I have had the truck since Dec 12th , I had 6 days off for christmas and 3 days off a few weeks back , and the truck has almost 15, 000 hub miles on it . Its kinda to soon to really get a good average .

    on elogs avg over 450- 500 miles per day is going to be a fantasy anyway you look at it
    you will run out of your 70 and even if you reset on the road it will bring 6 days of 600 mile avg back to 450
    3600 miles in 6 days = 600/day
    with reset 3600 in 8 days = 450/day

    and that is the best it can be not counting weather shippers or receivers
    that is the way the game is played today fighting the system just gets frustrating
    only thing you can change is rate of pay per mile as your experience grows

    Its a break to regain a full clock .. called a 34 hr reset.
    Has to show to two periods of 1 to 5 am back to back..
    Ya can work off roll overs but , when ya drive a 100 mile day ya figure about a little less then 2 hrs in 8 days that all u will gain back for that day
