    This weeks check was for 2716 miles and I took home $1774.69. Total numbers since I started on 3/17 I have been paid on 48832 miles and have taken home $25783.50 after $.07 per mile is already deducted for my maintenance fund. That works out to $.528 per mile after .07 is already deducted for maintenance fund. That breaks down to 2325 miles and $1227.78 per week which includes weeks I have taken time off. I have taken off 36 days since I started. I have paid $28594.81 for fuel which breaks down to $.585 per mile.

    I live straight south of you at the end of SR 37. I get through the house quite a bit while under a load and then take a full week off about once a month.

    I pay $602.16 per week for 46 months. Yeah I try to avoid it if I am in the truck. If I am coming from Indy going home I usually just take I65 to I265 to I64 to SR37.
