Roehl drivers How many miles per week are you seeing lately?

??? I could be wrong, it happened ONCE before, but last time I checked mileage and pay were still very closely related.

 

Seems to me that everything we do for work is about the paycheck. Am I wrong?

 

National flat. I stay out 12 to 25 days and turn nothing down.

1780 miles for the last 12 months, average. 1750 miles average 4th quarter 2009.

Paychecks range from $750 down to $29.

 

Headlights in the eyes look !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Big bucks, AND see the country !!!

 

The danger in comparing paychecks versus miles in trucking is that many things go into a paycheck, tarp pay, extra stops, delay pay, layover, etc. Take-home can really vary widely depending on deductions, insurance, 401k, etc.

As for my miles, I have been tracking them over the past several months and I am between 5600 and 6000 per month. I drive van and am 7/4-3. I get a lot of excuses and no solutions.

 

So how was the miles for Christmas week for you guys that stayed out?? Hope it was worth it..

 

Am I paranoid or is anyone else concerned that they hired Arrow's president to head up the flatbed/curtainside operations? They were so proud of their coup when they first hired him and announced it in their vm. I noticed though that they left that little bit of information out in their newsletter they just sent out.
