I've been doing ne for a month and a half, I've been getting 1500-1800 miles a week. My question is, is this the norm or have drivers been averaging more. If so is it bc I'm new and there just feeling me out or am I getting the short end of the stick.

Sounds ballpark for July.
There is a cycle that reefer freight goes through every year. High tide is the spring months through the 4th of July. At the beginning of the third quarter (now) freight slows markedly... all July's suck big time! It will pick up in the fall, peaking around Thanksgiving, then slowly taper off, until you hit the post-holiday blahs. February sucks pretty bad too. Happens every year to one extent or another.
It's about averages... and you should average around 2000 to 2400 miles per week over the course of an entire year on NE regional from what I've heard. That's why you get the extra 5-cpm. -
Its hot in the Midwest, you would beg for a break.

My Run....
330 miles to Queens NY...= 2,200 to truck...
fuel is 250.00
toll is 120.00
2200-250-120 = 1830.00
Now lets pay company driver...
.40 cents a mile x 330 = 132.00 to dumbed down driver...
1830-132.00 = 1698.00 profit to me doing nothing... -
Newbs at Prime in the northeast start at .46/mile... -
Coolbreeze Thanks this.

What about depreciation on your equipment? Insurance? Maintenance? That equipment costs you even when it sits idle. What are your fixed costs per day? When you go home do you spend time maintaining your truck? What is that time worth?
