    Well I just finished my second week at act. Went from gadsen al to dekalb il . From rockford il to wichita ks and now I'm on a run from mcphearson ks to richmond mi. My first check after fuel and sign on bonus was 1069.00 a lot of being successful at act is running smarter not harder by keeping you mpgs up by not keeping your foot burried in it and picking the right loads from the ones you are offered. A lot of runs have drop and hook on either one or both ends which is super nice

    Got my pay info for this week. Did not get my trips turned in for last week so my check was 0 and I was in the hole 770.66 to start. This weeks check was for last week and this week. Ran 4332 miles and took home $3110.64 total for the 2 weeks combined.

    Numbers from when I started 3/17/11 are I have been paid on 53164 miles and I have taken home $28894.14 which breaks down to $.543 per mile after $.07 per mile is already deducted for my maintenance fund. Breaks down to 2311 average miles per week and $1256.26 per week to my bank after maintenance fund is already deducted. I have paid out $30613.93 in fuel for an average of $.575 per mile. I have taken off about 34 days since I started on 3/17.
