    It's hit or miss this time of year. I usually stay very busy, but I'm on a bad start day lol. Summer time is when I swelled my bank account. I'm in Auto pilot at this point.

    The results are in... 84.6K the first full year. Would've hit 90K, but I haven't been working. I try my best not to be out during the winter.
     
    USMC 3531 and dwells40 Thank this.

    Nice! Extra board you can make great money.

    I have a scheduled run and was hired in July, ending the year with 32.2K. Not bad for bottom of pay scale and shortest run. I suppose next year I'll hit 65-70K depending on how motivated I am to run on the weekends.

    Congrats Kao you the man! Don't think I am going to hit a number like that, I started the beginning of June, as of right now 7 months into it I am at $42,307 so far, just got a bump to .5925 at six months, but unless something dramatic happens in the next 5 months in miles, I don't think I will even break 80 for the year from date of hire, I have had some 3000 mi weeks but they are really sporadic, miles have gone up, but still hovering around the 1900 to 2500 a week, and all these hourly holidays ain't helping but they are much appreciated, hoping things will break lose next month or two and go back to full throttle again.
