take the leap?

just had to leave a good company due to bad equipment = little or no miles. i've got it narrowed down to just a few with US express making it through the first round of cuts. in my short time on the road i've learned enough to know that every company has it's issues and it's almost a process of getting it down to which issues bother you the least.

from what i've been told 2500 miles a week staying out for 14 days. in reality, 2500 miles would be on the low end of what i'd like to get ( who wouldn't like more right?)
so just curious to see if ya'll are regularly getting more or less than that? that and just how much east coast ie: new york, new jersey, connecticut are ya'll doin?

if it helps i'm based just east of Austin, Tx.

 

i've pulled reefer and dryvan, yet to do the flatbad thing. wouldn't mind flatbed just need the training on securing and tarping.

 

i get what your saying. last company was .38 + .02 quarterly safety/performance. on a good week i'd get 3,100 miles. BUT due to equipment issues it worked out more like 1,300 one week then 2,800 the next if i was lucky and could stay outa the shop. yeah it broke down that often. so 2,500 @ .40 straight would be an improvement.

 

yeah i have but just about any company with over 100 drivers is allover the "bad comany" thread as well.

thanks for the info vinsanity, i could stay out longer, not that big of an issue in the end. are you a company driver or lease op?
