    Well boys and girls, it's that time of year again...the annual post how much you made thread.

    While I have been with this company for about a year and a half, it was my full calendar year with them.

    First the important info; I drive for dot foods (yes they take newbies and teams). I started the year off at .32 a mile and got a .03 raise six months later.

    I grossed so far 60,117.02 as of my last check 2 weeks ago so im guessing I will have grossed about 63K for 2013.

    My normal run is from sat to thurs averaging 2600 miles (home thurs evening to sat morning). Honestly i took a ton of time off, had I worked all the days I was supposed to I would have easily grossed at least 65k. (Obviously gross pay including bonuses, pickup pay drop/hook etc). If I really wanted to get all the bonuses (speed, idle) and worked my butt off I probably could have grossed 70 but to me there is more to life than driving a truck.

    About 153,000 as a company team with one more check to come for the year. Down from previous years because we took at least 2 months off (week or two at a time) for an ear surgery, wisdom tooth extraction, and a holiday in Louisiana with Dad when we flew him over.

    3 company jobs will transition into $72-74. With about 1 month non pay between jobs.
    OT hours boosted the last 3 quarters.
