    So I've been working at this trucking company called covenant for past 6 months and I've worked my way up to making .66 per mile on there special dedicated OTR account pulling mostly doubles pup trailers. And I'm averaging about 3000 miles per week am I being paid fairly at .66 pulling doubles and occasional hazmat loads? I have about year and a half total trucking experience.

    3000 miles a week at .66 is very good.

    if you're a company driver making .66 a mile solo, getting 3,000 miles a week, you're grossing $1,980.00 per week. Multiply that over 52 weeks, and your annual gross is $102,960.00. For someone of your experience level - that is pretty good.

    Agreed. $0.66 / Mile USD is pretty good money.
