    In 24 yrs of driving I simply dont get it. The whole idea is to drive less and be paid more money. Drivers just dont get it. They think they have to burn 3000 miles a wk to make a thousand dollars, well no one said truck drivers were smart.

    I drive about 21-2200 a week max and make anywhere from 1300-1500 a week. Im also home most nights and every weekend. I'm not brainwashed, thanks. I'm simply pointing out 3000 miles is nothing.
