    How about this for a thought: Drivers, what amount of pay per mile is acceptable for experienced drivers? What would you guys accept if a company can keep your average miles per week at 2500 -3000?

    I haven't seen too many companies paying north of 50 cents per mile, but if they do, then the question becomes how many miles do they dish out. 50 cents a mile is not an upgrade if a driver only averages 2000 miles per week

    Owner op, $1000/day minimum. Company schmuck in a company truck, $300/day. And I don’t think that’s being greedy.
