    I've read several guy's on here who are new Swiftys. So I'm curious what miles are you runnin? Is 2400 average wkly a reasonable thing when you get cut loose solo? I'm aware there's a lot of variables. Average and reasonable are key words here. I'm really interested in you guys that are left of the Big Muddy. Most posters seem to be easterners. Thanks

    This pay period I have 4411 miles. But last pay period I had 0 miles lol. So really its about 2200 average for 2 weeks, yes you're estimate is about right. I noticed at the terminal their goal is to put 1800 miles on each truck each week. When I started last year the goal was 2500 a week.

    I've run 93472 mile this year, as of the end of last pay period. That averages out to 2526 miles per week ... account for my time off, a week every 6 weeks I actually run about 3000 miles per week.
