    There is no guarentee of course, but from what I have seen/experienced it is between 2500-3000. Alot depends on you not turning down loads and your FM.

    If you are a company driver you have no choice in the matter, you will run what they give you as long as your hours of service will allow. And if you refuse to run that load, you will find yourself looking for another job. Even tho i don't want to run to canada if they give me the load i have no other choice but to run it.

    Wait until U2exit replies. He can give you a good idea. With over 3 years under his belt, I would trust his input better than anyone.

    My long-term solo average on the company side was just under 2800 miles per week - 2600 to 3200 were representative of the spread. That was on paper logs, but to be honest I was waiting on loads longer on the old system than on elogs.

    The Pete's had one tank, but I'm pretty sure the Cascadia's have two - just means the baby Pete drivers shower more often!

    :biggrin_25525:

    They can run just as hard. I believe that most of them have a 13-liter engine. The lightweight trucks can pull more in the trailer than the full-size condo tractors.
