    I have been thinking about getting back behind the wheel. I was wondering what kind of miles to except at prime or PTL (Murray ky). I would take the lightweight and try for the fuel bonus.

    2300-2700 miles when you start is average if you run right. Youll see a 3000+ week once in a while.

    I've been basing my figures on 2500-3000 a week. When I estimate if it would be worth leaving my job

    yes you do, and any time you leave the road, sooner or later, you'll be back ! Some call it the "fever". Others refer to "it" as being in your blood. Luck to ya'

    I assume those are lease op miles? Anyone have any figures on how much company driver average miles are?

    Are you suggesting that there are OTR companies that give their drivers average weeks of less than 2500? What's the lowest average anyone is willing to work as OTR for? That's very dramatic.
