    Just curious to see how many loads a week you all are averaging a week? We run in Texas only, and are averaging 6-8 a week per driver. Anybody else here intrastate only?

    I try to move 1 a day and I'm running regionally (IN IL OH MI KY IA) and if I'm running local here in Chicago, I'll try to move 2 a day. I don't have dedicated freight or lanes, and my regional is still prob less miles than you running intrastate Texas (that's a big ### state) ... Does the amount of loads you move mean more than the rate your moving them for? I would run 1 load a week if it paid right.

    Are you paid by the load or the mile? If the mile then it doesn't matter if by the load then it does matter! I'm at a various location in my runs, I get short ones and then I get 5 dayers and everything in between. Thanks.

    We get paid by the load. We don't go further north than Dallas and nowhere near the valley.

    Sometimes none, sometimes 3 in a day. It's a number that is irrelevant.

    When you are hitting 12, about how many of those are 20-40 mile runs in Houston?

    And 3 of those 6 are probably less than 10 miles, 40 mile runs in Houston take a long time.
