How do I answer "How many miles/hours do you wish to run/work each week?"

2200 miles
52 hours
$1900 per week

 

Well anything over 40 hours is triple time so you have to factor that in

 

Are they paying by the mile or by the hour ?

 

Answer the question like you’re a go-getter. You’ll end up doing what the give you anyway whether it is more or less than you want.

So choose numbers on the high side, but still reasonable. Calculate them based on the position you’re applying for. If you want help with those numbers tell us what you are applying for.

 

One of the companys i worked at back when i first started i just wrote yes as my answer. It actully got me in the door lol.

 

Any company that asks this question will be tossing the app in the trash if it doesn't say 70 hours a week,

 

"I dont want to sit waiting for dispatch, I want to burn my 70 then reset, and I want to NET at least $1500 a week."

 

Don't work for any company until you have talked to current drivers at the company doing the work you are getting hired for. Ask those drivers how much they make per hour/mile/week. Ask those drivers about schedules and benefits. Not doing enough research on the company you are wanting to work for usually ends with you quitting before you get enough experience to work for a better company. 80-90% of newly hired drivers leave the trucking industry before they work for 1 year.
