Curious about flatbed in Vegas

those miles are terrible

 

That's with being home every weekend me personally stayed out longer and got more miles on avrage got 2000-3000 miles a week and there's a reason I'm a truck drive I failed grammer in middle school all the way up to high school I'm not on here to write and have graded if you don't like it don't read it simple as that

 

Heavy haul trailer?

 

If the "." key is broke on the computer, there's another "." over on the right side under all the numbers that look like a calculator. It will work too, see here. And here's the other one. Hard to tell the difference and they both mean the same thing..

As for miles, 1500 a week, are you serious, what do you do the other 4 days. I haul 90% oversize, big oversize often in excess of 16' wide and 1500 miles is done in the first 3 days. I'm already at 400 for this week (started at home yesterday afternoon and bobtailed down here for this weeks load), will be back here by Friday morning and be at 2600 for the week with 1100 of those at 16' wide, 14' high and 95' OAL.

A company that averages 1500 miles a week, I wouldn't walk away, I'd run unless it's a salaried or hourly union job. But a regular open deck driving job, that's an insult. 1500 miles a week X $.42 per mile is $630.00 a week gross! Which means by the time you done feeding yourself, paying Uncle Sam, paying your family portion of medical insurance and all the other pay first's you'll wind up taking home $0.02 a week. A better plan, get a $14.00 an hour forklift job, sleep in your own bed every night and wind up with the same money if not more at the end of the week.

Just my opinion but if you can't make over $60k a year in open deck work then it's not worth the effort. 1500 miles a week is barely more than half that.
