    Hi guys!
    I know this is the "whatcher 20" thread but I figured I'd ask those that are actually driving.
    I am respectfully asking;
    About how many miles a week are you guys driving?
    How's the pay and bennies? And do things slow significantly in the winter?
    Thanks!
    P.S. Where is Mrh 2008?

    I've been averaging 2500, winter slows a little but mainly thanksgiving to new year. Don't know squat about medical stuff.

    Got me some horse stable parts which smell like poo. Sitting flying j in limon and me and another guy running together so breaks up the loneliness.

    I finished the month with 11,950 miles. It slows a bit in the winter, but not too much. Save some $$$ for the lean times. 401k matches up to 3.5% (I think) and you're vested at 3 yrs. Don't know about medical since I'm retired Navy.
