    Drivers, I'm doing a little research..Can you respond with how many miles you drive per week and per month? Averages are fine! Thanks in advance for your help!

    I drive about 2,300 a week. Freight is slow now. Sometimes less. I walk more than I drive as of late, it seems.

    In the last 4 years, I've averaged almost exactly 125K/annual. Worked about 9 months (100 days off) or about 3,400/week. I did take the 100 days off, and I did run 125K miles, but the weekly number sounds a little high? Still, maybe I should take more days off.
     
    Bpat Thanks this.

    My usual run averages out to about 950 miles a week, I think I did 67,000 miles last year.

    Bakerman, I think you're a very wise individual, and I'm going to strive to be more like you. At least, if I can be at home for all those off times.
     
    Bakerman Thanks this.

    I usually get antsy-cranky after about 4 hrs of driving, that puts me at Coachella from my house. So, I have to stop at the Loves or T/A to take a break, half hr to 1.5hrs. Then it's just a quick 2 hrs into Gardena to switch my machines & then go to bed.
    Only to wake up the next morning to fight the LA traffic trying to make my pick ups and be home by 8pm.

    Most of you drive way to much. I strive for 1 mile a week. Ok I drive more then that but I sure don't drive 3k unless it's paying a lot. 2k a week is more then enough.

    Looking at the odometer it looks like I do about 4k a month.
