I'm not gonna defend @Chinatown , he's a grown man and his reputation around here is being reproach....... But if you think he is the only one that has great antipathy toward Swift you are sorely mistaken. Maybe it's time for a 34 hr reset, get out of the truck for a bit. Might I suggest getting a room at one of those Candlewood Inn and Suites or one of their affiliates, they're pretty nicebullhaulerswife and slim shady Thank this. -

Is Swift at .35 now?

I'm not shy about heated debate or passionate discourse, but when people get crazy or rude, it provides a dispiriting effect. There's got to be a better code of conduct, some basic etiquette.Big Papaxx, Sneakerfix and slim shady Thank this. -
Thread went a little off topic. Just curious what a reasonable average salary for a fist or 2nd year driver. Whenever I ask people I usually get an answer like "one time I made $$$ in 1 week" but it doesn't really help. I do appreciate the mileage info though. I was assuming a lot less average weekly mileage than 3000
Big Papaxx Thanks this. -
Think I read it on here, and it made pretty good sense, but figure a thousand dollars a year for every cent per mile. Obviously it's not perfect and won't fit every situation, but will get you close.

Cannonrush, depending on how hard you run, you can expect to average 2000 to 2500 miles per week. Some weeks you may actually get 3000, but those will be rare, and some weeks you may get less than 2000. When that happens, it's time to have a chat with your DM because that is just not acceptable. Don't listen to those guys that answered first and said that 2000 miles is a three day run for them. That's all great for them, but they aren't in a 62 mph truck with e-logs. Kinda limits what one can do.
And yes, for your first year, you can expect about $35-40,000.JOHNQPUBLIC Thanks this.
