    For 5000 miles a week? You can do that running on recap hours, lol. Usx just never kept me running.

    5,000 a week isn't hard but all the BS you have to put up with to get it if you want it every week.

    I'm heading out. I'll explain later.

    5k a week should be easy money for an experienced team. I do 5k weeks with my students their last weeks occasionally 6k in the final week. It is possible to do 7k in a week, but for that you really do have to bust ###. Not easy but doable.

    I'm about to do over 3400 miles miles this week solo (I did pick the first load of the week up 1 day before the pay week started), and I didn't haven't driven that hard. I shouldn't be arguing with you about what Teams can/can't do, 5k miles should average around 6.5 hours each of driving a day (I know averages don't always work out in a schedule). 5000 miles, divided by an average speed of 55 MPH equals almost 91 hours of drive time. Divided by 7 brings it to 13 hours of drive time a day to do 5K miles on a balanced driving schedule. Even to do 5000 miles in 5 days is minutes over 9 hours each drive time a day.
    Looking at it like that, IDK how USX didn't get me 5K miles every single week.

    Is 22 cent bonus all or nothing? For example if you average 4,900 instead of 5k do you get any bonus at all?

    Do dedicated accounts run all 48? I'm wanting to do that at least for a while? Do they pay more?
