Acceptable Weekly Average Miles

DigiTrucker,

Depends on how much you make per mile...I used to make .45 cents per mile and I was happy with 2,000 miles per week (5 days)...BUT, if I worked for CR England at .20 cents per mile, I would want 3,000 - 5,000 miles per week! just MHO...

 

What Ever Makes me 1,000 a week, which is right around 2,800 anything past that is just extra I'm not greedy and never complain about miles if i make my weekly goal

 

about 2500-3000 is good and easy to run. 500-600 miles a day is good and usually turns out good money.

 

i am happy to get 125 a day with jb god i love this company actaully no my weekly average so i have been told by my dispatcher whom i will lovingly refer to as (dispatcher) tells me i average 3046 a week being out 5 days a week i wish it where 3200

 

I'm runn'n by the hour now so that kinda takes the fun out of miles but it is cake :smt025

 

i agree by the hour is the bomb. shipper/reciever say i gotta wait and they'll do it soon as possible. i'm like ok i'm paid by the hour. then they get it unloaded pretty quick.

 

Yeah it is all easy and it is dedicated so there is always work:smt045

 

I used to like to run about 3000 miles a week.( M-F) With most decent companies seems the avg driver runs solo 2500-2800 a week.

 

I have to agree,, on the change of plans when they find out I am paid by the hour in getting unloaded. Two weeks ago, pull in dock up, and they tell me I gotta wait till they get the Sni truck unloaded (No problem, he was here first) but I say No problem I get paid by the hour. Two guys unloading Sni, one guy stops, comes over unloads me, and then goes back to Sni. Only thing that bothered me was it was a short schedule day (only 9 hours) so the wait would have helped... But it was good.. Dang I got lucky on landing this job...
