    So 4500 to your bank acct.

    And you complain about deadhead something is missing. I get not wanting to dh but at some point you've gotta realize you're probably doing better than every other team on choice and you either come off as GREEDY, Recruiting or lying.

    I'd say be happy with your achievements on choice.

    I would rather net 4000 in 3000 miles and not completely devalue a 180,000 truck in three years but that's me. 8000 miles a week whether in the sleeper or driving is still 8000 a week. All this work is making me tired. This is becoming crazy talk.

    2800 miles at 1.75 all miles is misleading as well. Just because you can camp the board and book 2.00 a mile freight? It's not that easy.
    Maybe you have a secret line no one has figured out. But to any looking to sign on dont figure on that 2800 mile 1.75 average. Ain't happening. Whether someone is camping the board or not.

    lol..
    Few Northeast drivers right here on this fourm do better than the numbers I posted.
    However i agree nobody should figure on any set of numbers. Everybody runs different and knows different things.

    If I was greedy I wouldnt be pulling a Van at a mega carrier.
    It is painful to deadhead out of areas I know we have good freight so yeah I point that out.

    Who honestly cares?!?!

    If you're happy doing what you're doing, that's great....

    Why care or try to prove anything to anyone?....

    I don't have the time or the patience to argue with everyone on here about what I make or how I run....

    Life is too short....

    Roll on....

    Even the trainer's aka team drivers don't make what you say you're making and their freight rates are better then here.. And there not running 8000 miles. The average trainer at Prime makes 2500_3000 to the truck a week and that's paying the student anywhere between 600_800 a week maybe more depending on the miles ran that week. Like I said something don't add up. But hey what do I know I'm just an ex Prime trainer lol
