    Hello Drivers,

    I've been tracking my #'s to my greatest ability via spreadsheets and I've gotten a pretty good idea of my #'s. What I'm missing are #'s to compare it to. Now i know we've had threads like this before, but in this thread I'm Only looking for people that ACTUALLY KNOW THEIR #'s. If you don't know your #'s and you'd like to I'd be more than happy to share the spreadsheets I've been developing. If you think my spreadsheets are worthless junk and know a better way to track your #'s I'd be up for that to.

    Here's where I'm at for 2014 so far.
    weekly avg gross pay $1,119.19
    Avg paid miles per week 2667.84
    Pay per mile $0.420
    Calculated Gross income $50,531.21
    # of weeks paid 5.13

    I am a company driver for Systems Transport
    Fleet=OTR
    Experience=Less than 1 yr
    trailer type=Flatbed & stepdeck

    Couple key points to understand about these #'s
    -Calculated annual gross income is being calculated as if i take maximum allowable hometime (1 day every week)
    -Pay per mile is base mileage pay (34.5) + all accessory pay factored into the weekly gross avg and avg paid miles
    -# of weeks paid is shown as a decimal because i don't count hometime towards my averages
    -Each Row in the Pay Check Audit sheet is showing 2 weeks and those exact dates because that's my company's pay schedule for cutoff dates and pay dates


    And here's the source data for my little home brew system. I use one spreadsheet to track trips specifically and another to look at overall data from those trips.

    Here's the information i think we could all benefit from the most, but am happy with whatever your willing to share assuming they are #'s with some factual basis and not just a ''ballpark estimate''

    % of unpaid

    ....that shouldn't exist

    Barely cleared 40k gross last year taking 18 unpaid days off and being broke down 60+ days with def crap.

    Not terrible considering circumstances.
    Only spent 3 days in shop with t600 compared to t660.

    Take note truck purchasers!

    Welcome to the world of being paid zipcode to zipcode... I agree completely with you though :/.

    Liking the information. Would love to see what everyone else is doing for miles,pay per mile and weekly gross pay if anyone is willing to share.

    I'm starting to get pretty ticked off in my current situation, but i'm unsure if the grass is any greener on the other side.

    I hit my 1 year anniversary this week, avg well over 3000 miles per week at .37 cpm I grossed 58k. This includes stop pay, pad wraps, accounts that paid out bonuses for undamaged freight. Safety and fuel bonuses. Even better, I get home for the weekends.

    You'd make a good business operator - nice number crunching.

    Last year I made $1100 per day selling Chinese garbage from home. And I only worked 1/2 day a week!!!! I'm also selling load locks for tankers, and empty post holes lol. Seriously, nice record keeping by the OP.

    well I will put my numbers up here so we will get a lot more response from some of you who are not so proud of your yearly gross for 2013. my total income for the year was $2390.00 and that was between 2 companies. a bad year in deed, that is the least amount of money I have made in over 40 years. would love to see some more numbers to help me decide where to go to work and not be totally disappointed the first 2 weeks of work.:biggrin_2552:
