    Have you called JB and asked them about average miles? Also put where you live on your profile, will help people give you more valid information.

    You will be hard pressed to get a real average number in terms of expected weekly miles average from anybody because not everybody runs the same or falls into the same draw of the cards. 46 cents is not that good if you only run 2400-2600 MPW and I doubt they can consistently run you 3000+. They'll put teams on the type loads that will get you 3000 mile weeks regularly. But I don't know what it's like other then I do know companies ONLY pay the premium mileage scale in positions where real miles are not there and they need to offset them to try and keep drivers there and away from home that long.

    I suspect it's more to create a mere illusion of "good money" on the surface.

    So out for 12 weeks averaging 2200 miles a week...IMO that's a lot of sitting around in a tiny truck to then only earn 0.58 days off per week out. If you enjoy freedom this isn't it.

    I understand the not caring about time off, however your probably better off with an OTR company that can run you closer to 3K a week all over the country. I would think that experience would help you more than just sittin in a tiny JB truck bouncing around one region.
