What are the average monthly miles solo drivers getting lately?
I used to drive for W/S from '96 to '02. After going full time for the national guard for 8 years( 4 driving heavy haul as a dual status technichian) and graduating from a 2 yr. school in machine tool technology only to find that machinists jobs in my area don't pay me enough to pay the bills and realizing that I am a driver first and foremost, I am wondering if I can earn enough OTR. When I was driving for them before, 10 to 12 thousand miles a month was the norm and I was happy as a clam. I do miss the road, but now I have a house and student loans to pay for, I need to average those miles to make OTR driving work for me.
By the way, do Mike and Wendy still drive?
Thanks,
Ken

I get between 1500-4000 a week. So about 2750/wk avg. Plus bonuses, stop pay etc... (And they also increased breakdown pay to $100/day.)
