    No, some weeks are better than others, and every once in awhile I have a 4000 week, depends on where I am and what loads are available, I don't have a dedicated or regional route, or a set time that I am out.

    thanks for the responses. even the beer drinkers. LOL

    at least it doesn't seem too far fetched to get 2000 per week then once in the swing of things.

    I dunno . A while back I was on the NY Thruway and a JB driver with a dedicated PPG account was trying to sell his CB to buy a meal . He said JB requires 1500 miles between advances and he hadn't run that much in over a week .

    Last week I had 1100 on the first short turn around, then drove another 2550 to San Diego. 3650. Week before 3500 week before 4100 For the most part I am always over 3200 per week.

    My recuiter has been fairly upfront with me. He tells me that for a new guy, day 1 that I should expect anywhere from 1800-2200. After about 6 months I should run around 2600-3200 per week. He said those are averages of course. Some weeks will be less, some will be more.

    Really depends on the week but I normally hit at least 3k a week. My dispatcher know how I like to run so he usually hooks me up. Most of the time its in the wrong direction but the backhauls are good for a fast turn around so I don't complain....much.
