    Hey Soontobe,

    What do they start experienced drivers out at? How many miles can an OTR driver average per week?

    If they haven't changed it, you'll get .30 or .31 for what you have. Can't remember exactly.

    Do remember, it takes 5 or more to start at .35 a mile.

    If you're willing to deal with it, you can average 3k miles a week. Give or take.

    I've seen W/S trucks pulling doubles in Alberta, Canada. I have experience in pulling turnpike doubles ( 2x53' trlrs ). How much do they pay for pulling doubles, and in which parts of the US do they have doubles operating ? Thanks.

    Thanks Dance and S2B.

    Well, miles are where the money is, so if/when I do get back on the road, 3000+ is my target. Not going to make enough to live on with much less. Sitting around truck stops does not interest me at all.

    So, are they primarily east of Mississippi or do they get out west at all?

    Watkins & Shepard called today to save me from going to work at CRST. I'm much relieved. I'll (hopefully) be training in Montana October 26th.
