    I'm currently on swift flatbed. I know they don't give us too much cents per mile but we get as much miles as we want. (i typically go from chicago-loredo TX- sc- ohio/indiana/chicago in a week) for 3000-3500 miles easy. I was wondering how many miles does Boyd typically get their drivers.

    (I live in Philly but I'm not concerned at all about home time. I just run hard and try to get the money)

    If it is not broken, do not fix it. The grass is not always greener on the other side. Any more cliches needed? Just enjoy what you have and leave it alone. Jumping from one job to another over the issue of miles when you are running very well now will only come back to haunt you later down the road when it keeps you from actually getting the better job because you are viewed as a job hopper.

    That's true; hard to beat the steady miles you're getting now. Unless you're just absolutely bored with the same route every week I wouldn't jump ship just yet. If you're determined to try something else, then look at System Transport and Melton Truck Lines & at least get some coast to coast running.

    Personally, if I were you, I would stay put. Dollars to donuts, there are truck drivers who would love to trade places with you, due to the FANTASTIC miles that you are currently driving. In the eyes of many people, you are doing quite well.

    Keep up the good work and the absolute best of luck to you and your family!

    Yea its good but Boyd pay is way better. If I was there with the same miles I'd be the happyest kid in the world. I just don't wanna switch and end up with 2000 a week. I was just wondering typical mileage for somebody who runs hard 7 days a week to compare/contrast

    One new Boyd driver posted he's making about$700.00 a week. Hard to say if that's the norm or not unless you talk to several of their drivers.

    My bf is making anywhere from $700 to $1500 a wk. it just depends on the week. Some weeks he doesn't have a lot of miles but the pay is a lil better because he'll run short runs that are % instead of cpm. (28% instead of .38cpm for less than 300 miles if I'm remembering right). He's been running solo since Dec if that helps you any.

    I simply don't understand why so many people are focused on miles. It's about how many dollars you made over the year, not how many miles you ran.
