Miles per year driving locally

I have no idea about intermodal specifically, but I drive mostly "local" (100 air mile radius from my yard) and was surprised how many miles I get, especially since I haul dedicated OS/OW loads only, loading/unloading multiple pieces of heavy equipment daily at multiple spots. I go out far enough to have to use OTR logs maybe 20 days or so a year, and last year I got a new tractor. On the anniversary date this year, I noticed I had logged 97k+ on it.....Talk about being overworked and underpaid! LOL
But being home (almost) every night makes up for it!

 

Long time local driver....... I do 70 thousand miles a year and take a lot of time off . 6-8 weeks usually

 

I've got 1.7 million in 17 yrs with my carrier, running regional intermodal. I've had 12,000 mile months and I've had 5,000 mile months, it can vary greatly.

 

I drive about 50-65k a year. It's not about the miles if you get paid enough

 

well I started last September with 592k now im up to 658k in my truck odometer ( about 66k miles for my not so good at math people) that's me running 5 days a week and taking 7 weeks off due to military training and vacation but I like running hard when theres work

 

I work for JB Hunt Intermodal too. I think I was around 108,000 this year, but I got to Canada alot. I'm still home everyday though.

 

Also, with intermodal, it depends on the region you are working. If your running the East Coast, West Coast, Houston, Chicago, you'll log less miles than someone based in KC, Denver or SLC. I can log a 500 mile rnd trip day and only work 8 hrs, including a 2 hr loading time. In some markets, local doesn't exist, it's called regional.

 

I dono, for us local drivers get really varied loads, some times they run cross towns and short stuff like 30-50 miles out and back all day, other days they do a 450ish mile round trip. It really just depends on who you work for I think. I'm regional and the longest run I've ever had was 700 miles round trip. Loads like that are pretty rare though I think because of how many empty miles they include. If you're driving for a company that isn't hourly though typically you get paid by the load as well and money for things like live loads etc.
