    Just need to add up your miles for each load zipcode to zipcode, many companies dont pay actual miles. When you figure out how many miles you will be running look onto your companies sliding scale and add in any extras (extra stops, layover, tarp pay if flatbed, etc.) and then you should be able to figure out your pay per load before taxes.

    In this biz, you'll be doing a lot of free work IE, fueling, pre/post trips, waiting to get loaded/unloaded, "favors" for your dispatcher, (such as picking up a loaded trailer and bringing to your yard), waiting while truck gets service/repairs etc. Mileage pay means you only make $$$ while truck is moving. Most companies will also pay for extra stops, in addition to the first. Most also will pay a fuel bonus, and/or a bonus if you run more than 10,000 mi a month.
