No you are taking what I said out if context. The driver I responded to said you make just as much money driving 2500 miles as the driver who drives 3000 miles. I was explaining that his comment was incorrect. If you drive 3000 miles then your revenue is higher than the driver who drove 2500 miles. Obviously the variable payment is higher at 3000 miles versus 2500 miles. But you STILL make more money at 3000 miles versus 2590 miles. The higher your revenue the more money you make. Like I said it's a simple matter of revenue.

 

here is a sample of weekly revenue based on current weekly deductions at JCT. This is solo miles at .90 cents per mile and fuel surcharge at .22 cents per mile. There is an example of 2500 miles at 7.0 mpg and 8.0 mpg, and an example of 3500 miles at 7.0 mpg and 8.0 mpg. So please explain to me Steel Tiger how running less miles at better mpg brings home more money????

 

Okay folks, me and my bride just got home today and I had to wait until I got home to do this. I am posting a copy of one month of my solo revenue at JCT and also 1 month we ran as a team. I chose July 2016 to show for the solo revenue because that was the first month after I upgraded to a new 2017 Cascadia. That's the most expensive truck on the fleet. When my wife came on in October 2016 we actually downgraded to a 2014 Cascadia because we wanted to pay it off quicker. I chose January 2017 for the team example because it was right after the holidays. These two examples are indicative of what I ran as a solo since being here and us as a team. Our average mpg as a solo and as a team was 7.11. Hopefully you guys will be able to read these. I hope it helps make more sense as to what is possible here at JCT. This comes from a spreadsheet that I maintain weekly to keep track of our revenue. I started it the first week I was at JCT...
