Average miles/week for company drivers...

On the company side, kind of. If your dispatcher is good, you can run the macro 27 and have him adjust the load miles based off of that which is closer to address to address but still short actual hub miles.

 

I've been a year and when I started I had a 2012 Cascadia lw and had no issues getting the 3cpm fuel bonus. Then I got a 2013 and was able to get 3cpm fuel bonus easily, on occasion I would get up into the 5's cpm. Now I have a 2015 and I would get that 3cpm as well if I was still a comany driver, but as a lease driver now I just get to see the dollars I save on fuel!

55mph isn't always the answer. On my 2012, the sweet spot was 54mph, on the 2013 it was 60. Now on my 2015 it's sweet spot is 58mph. Also, you need to watch your turbo gauge. You don't want it over 20 psi when climbing a hill or just plain driving. What rpm are you shifting at? You should shift no higher then 1300 and aim for 1200. Next, message road assist and ask them when the fuel filter was changed lsst, it should be replaced every 25,000 miles not just at 50,000 with the pm. Third, if your truck is over 100,000 miles, message road assist and ask them if the overhead has been done. If it hasn't, schedule a time to get that adjusted as well.

Hope that helps.

 

Aren't 2015's the same trucks with the evolution? I didnt think freightliner changed the truck any from 14 to 15. Am I wrong?

 

You've said this is for 6 months not including weeks with home time or repair time. However 6 months is 26 weeks and I only see 15 weeks listed. So as it seems you've posted 15 weeks and left out 11, nearly half. Which could make the average you posted at 2653 very inaccurate even possibly misleading. Did you have that many repair issues or take that much home time to have left that many weeks out? If so it would seem like it would have taken quite a lot of both to have not mentioned 11 out 26 weeks. Wondering what the average is including home time and repair time? If you wouldnt mind sharing?

 

Oh I understand. So I'm guessing that your overall average including home time and repair time is closer to 2100-2200 miles/week then.

 

It's all from what perspective your looking at it.

You know the potential miles you CAN make, when you run full weeks, based on what you've already done in the past. You only have a finite max # of miles you can potentially run with the limited hours you have, anyway. So, how close can you come to that impossible ideal?

Wouldn't figure home time & break down in myself, because those are completely variable. One, completely dependent on you. The other totally unpredictable. Both, regardless, will be the same no matter where you are. (Assuming condition & maintenance of equipment equal, which is never the case). Both have absolutely nothing to do with what you are potentially capable of running. Both would be considered limiters of what you are capable of running.
