How Many Miles R U Getting?

...as he picked up his hammer and saw.

 

or is it ...wait for it....."to the deaf man on the phone"

 

Oh christ, man that musta been awful.

 

Lots of sleepless nights...Didn't even drive a car for over a month, still haven't driven a truck. I've looked at a few, just can't get motivated to buy another one. It was fun fighting the Insurance company trying to get somewhat close to what my old truck was worth. What a bunch of crooks.

 

Leased to Mercer & paid on percentage! Average between 3200 to 4000 miles a week. Depending on how hard I want to work!

 

June 1st thru the 17th I drove over 7600 miles. paid percentage so I lot my ### big time. The freight was cheap ( thanx boss) and the demands were harsh.

 

I work for Swift, and I'm sure I'll be considered lazy by some here, but I try to keep my miles down between 2000-2500. Number 1- we do a lot of short haul, so a good portion of my 70 is used up with on-duty stuff (drop and hooks, sliding tandems, etc) and doesn't leave much time for driving. Number 2- I'm not all about money; I prefer to have a life.

 

I am still around researching companies for when I get through school.
One thing I have not found here is a thread about which truckers are getting the best miles..
Companies all seem to say the same thing.."we have the miles"...and I know once I start driving I am stuck the 1st year. Any answers are appreciated.

 

502 miles a day, 5 days a week and home every night!
