    The bad thing is alot of the companys that pay this way are the only ones with miles. I get paid for every mile i write down, Got to love the old pencil.

    I think I need to clarify. My truck get's paid percentage & I pay myself out of that off the actual miles driven....

    I'm not looking for miles. I'll run them if that is all I have available... But if the short runs are there I'd prefer those. I can make more per day running short loads then what I can running a 2000 mile load.

    We run a guaranteed 700 miles a day coast to coast.....most day more. DOT never says anything about our logs except when my partner colors in her's then it's "nice pictures". :biggrin_25523:

    most anyplace out west. I run Colo., NM, NE, Wyo., Ut, SD, ND. Even Kansas will let you slide on 75 mph if your not an idiot or abusing it.

    Really? Your a DOT inspector? The company I work for get's audited by USDOT every year, never once had an inspector question a 750 mile day or a 73 mph avg. speed on a run. I've had them question more 55 mph avg. days though.


    Trucks can't go that fast

    Ok reading all this makes me wonder. I need to take a leak at least every 6 hours. The math you guys are posting up here looks like 11 or 12 or 13 hours straight.... do all of you pee in a cup going down the road doing the 700+ mile days?
