    Oops just realised I asked about miles. Forgot lease is about revenue. What's your average revenue and fuel cost per week and any info on those 2 dollar plus per mile loads. So far I've seen meat, floral, pharmaceutical and those Canada loads and I think produce

    Average miles is somewhere near 2500 Id say. Average take home.... I dont know off hand. Im doin good. I make a lot more than I did at my last job. However, I stay out for months at a time. I havent seen the house since the beginning of April. Thats my choice. Im single, live alone, no brats, no one Im close to there, so no point in goin back right now. Im happy out on the road taking a break here n there in SpriMo.

    I hear that love the terminal there. So it would be accurate to say you clear 1000 a week. Sorry not trying to be invasive just trying to make an educated decision and your the only company side guy I've met thus far

    Sometimes. Almost always over $700-800. Some weeks are good, some are bad. All depends on whats goin on. This week probably wont be that great due to the wreck yesterday.
