    Doing a 34 in Georgia preplanned to pickup a SC load for Monday going to Mo. Hopefully deliver Tuesday night and get on the board early for Wednesday

    Weekly recap: Total miles 2453 Total Fuel Purchased 1235.81 Total Gross 3515.05 Total net 2279.24 Fixed Cost 850.00 Take Home 1429.24

    You dont have to Run 3000.00 mi to make a decent check . Watch your fuel you do fine this week my mpg 8.8 on the qualcomm. Those 2 light loads help my mpgs. So I saved money on fuel . Helped my check this week .

    Of course, some people have different ideas as to what exactly makes a "decent" paycheck. Personally, I have no complaints about our checks from ACT.
