How many miles a week will I be able to do?

That's the norm though. Even some O/O companies are going that route.... It pisses me off.... I'm going to be taking some steps here this year to position myself.... When my truck is paid off in 2 years I'm going back to hauling gravel.

 

If I AVERAGE 2500 mi a week,every week,I am ONE happy camper,er,Truck Driver...As for rhe last part of your statement,no offence takin,but it is what it is.......Please refer to beginning of my statement.

 

who fuels the truck? Inspects the truck? Loads & unloads?

Geez REDD thats what PIT CREWS are for

 

Most companies expect teams to run 1000 a day. If you are doing 4000 a week as a single driver then you know what you are doing! If you can do 4000 as a single then it is time to think about O/O.

A.T. props to you! You are doing very, very well! That is extreme for a new driver especially one who didn't go out with a trainer! Don't get down on yourself because freight is going to come to a halt now. This is the time of year when all the experienced guys take vacations because it is the slowest time of the year. February will pick up because all the major corporations will start to shuffle their inventory around to hide for tax season. I know for sure Kraft plays that game very well.

 

Few drivers that I talk to are getting anywhere near a consistent 2500 miles every week... promises are just that...

 

Setting in Yuma,AZ right now waiting to get loaded. as of right now i haved avg. 3081 per week.

 

I was just using numbers, not reality...

 

you must not know very many Watkins Shepard Drivers....we all get 2500-4000 a week
