    Mileage is great..got about 2000 this week. All the extra pay helps with the lower miles. Will know more next week once I get a full weeks worth of mileage pay. I also see Chicago a lot.

    So its mostly Chicago and Wisconsin? Do you do alot of inner city driving or is it more the surrounding 'burbs?

    I have picked up and dropped twice in the inner city but most of the Chicago driving is the burbs. Do get a decent amount of 350 mile runs but also a decent amount of 150 mile runs.

    so it is very possible to bring home at least $450/week after taxes ? the one thing i fear is not being able to make enough to live off

    This week was a cap week for me because I lost a 200 mile load thur and my Friday load delivers Monday so I figured I should net 500 this week with no insurance being taken out. If things go as they are 500 a week should be easily obtained unless freight drops of but for now they are asking for people to stay out because they have to much.

    Sounds good.This is the most feedback I've been able to get about the Dairyland route. I was afraid I'd be making way less,not that there wont be slow weeks but..its nice to know drivers are getting a decent amount of miles. The recruiter also mentioned there are several bonuses drivers get for saftey and passing DOT inspections right?

    That I am not sure about but we do get 7 for drop and hook, 12 for live load and 15 for an extra stop. So that definitely helps with getting lower miles.

    Which terminal are you at? I'm leaving out of the house Weds and they always have me pick up a student. Someone might grab you by then though.
