    1.15 per mile is simply insane. My 2nd quarter was 1.60, all miles, pulling a company trailer, home every weekend. I haven't tarped in 3 years &last winter I chained once. I'm not getting rich, in fact I'm whining loudly. There is no way you can generate wages and a normal profit on 1.15

    3300mi a week? That's a good argument against being a company driver. LoL

    What would you suggest? Drive around the block once, hand me my check for 1800 bucks? If you are a driver you might as well drive instead of sitting around. 3300 miles is about enough to stay busy

    I could stay out all week but I met my quota of loads. I have two kids and waiting on my third. If I was single I would do my 70 and take my 34 on the road and clear over $100k a year.
