    we are a team working for the same company that craig does and for the last 18 months we ran 6708 (paid) miles every week and thats with 6-7 hr's down 2x a week and a 34 hr restart every week.

    but we do keep the doors closed on the truck and run 1300-1350 miles a day..... that's in a 65mph truck, we avg 61.5 to 62.5 mph for the day and that includes starting in chicago and we don't go over the speed limit

    Thanks for the info! My wife and I have been following Craig and Anne, and all of the USX truckers forums. We are hoping to drive for USX after school. We will definitely be watching Flood now also.

    will things have changed alot for us in the last 3 months

    we are no longer company drivers (after 7+ years) we have our own truck and leassed it on with usx so what we do now is not the same as company drivers.

    we can do things that company drivers can't, more control over home time (stay home as long as we want) we can and do say NO to some loads and we don't go ware we don't want to. it has it's up side and down side
     
    davey86 Thanks this.
