    He averaged 540 miles a day doing all drop and hooks at $1.61 and he's now in the Northeast.

    It's possible but not easy.

    As slow as it is right now, its hard to believe. But as he said he's got an IC vet in his back pocket maybe telling him where his bank loads are?

    I believe him... Sometimes you have to be in the right place at the right time. If everything goes right.. I would gross 4522.86 for the week. I had a load cancel too. That's 6 day of running though. The rates sucks, but lack of good quality freight sucks more. I have to stay on the load board more than I used to.

    Remember he's in the Northeast.
    One 500 mile $2 load into there inflates those numbers.

    When he comes out for .90 let's see what that week's numbers will be.

    I think all the negativity turned some people off.

    Math doesn't add up. Well it could, but it would be an awfully extreme situation. If 7.2 mpg, then you burned around 413 gallons. If $1300, then 3.14/gallon before discount? I haven't been to PA for a long time, so I suppose that could be the price up there, but how did you get a $300 discount on around 400 gallons of fuel? You'd have to be getting 75 cents off the cash price. ####, sign me up for that fuel card. :cool:

    Listen.... Unless you post your loads I'll never believe you did 4800 in 5 days straight out of Orientation.. No way.. In 7 days yes.. i just did 4200 in 6 days a few weeks back. But 4800 in 5 days and youre saying you left orientation on Wednesday which must be new procedure nah i don't believe that . The moon and the stars would have to align first.. Just a fairly experienced ICs opinion lol
