How to find out how many miles you have driven

I agree with having plenty to do everyday, but.... as i see you have 6,766 post's at the moment, id say you have plenty of "free" time. I only say this because i am also a record keeping freak.

 

When applying for other jobs/companies, I've always just averaged it at 2500/week.

Have yet to be questioned about it.

For the most part the 2500 would have been a little high.

 

When you move into each truck just write down the mileage. Usually when they assign you a truck they give you an inspection sheet, one of the items to note is the mileage. Keep a copy of that sheet for your records.

 

Or as others have briefly mentioned ( assuming you are paid by the mile ) you could take the W2 amount for last year and divide by what you get per mile and get really close to your number. For this year you would take your Gross wages to date and do the same math. Obviously any safety bonuses, etc...would need to be backed out.

 

personally i wouldnt work for people I dont trust
never asked what I was going to be paid when I started

That is really the OLD school way
before a generation before this useless one took over

 

You trusted Trans Am?

 

The only problem when taking your W2 and dividing by your cpm is it doesn't take into account, extra pays like detention, or raises (ha! I know, right?)

If you want a hard number, ask your dispatcher. If you want an approximation, 110,000 to 125,000 mi per year is about average for otr.

 

I use the odometer as I find trying to track the time with a stopwatch and account for variances in speed more then I care to deal with, but to each their own.
