How to find out how many miles you have driven

Keep your log books and add up total MI. then div. $ and you can find your real cents per MI. that you are paid.

 

companies dont need or want to know if you drove 126258 miles or 115829 miles in your first year
they want to know you drove OTR and did more then a few hundred /week

you must know an avg of how much you have drove

 

Easy way figure average of about 2500 per week, that will be close enough for what they want.

I'm a little anal. I actually have daily journals that go back to 1982. They show every load, load numbers, point of dispatch, load, fuel stops, unload locations, truck and trailer numbers, mileage.you name it it's there.

I won't say but it might be possible right my logbooks may not match the journal. One is legal, the other is accurate. The two in the early days just did meet.now they match exactly.

 

I use the speedometer!

 

Always a good idea to keep a log of every load and the paid mileage with the date...add it up throughout the year. Helps to match up against your pay stubs as well. Will also give you an accurate average of what you run per week.

 

isn't there enough to do everyday without all that?

 

Your right...what am I thinking keeping track of what I do.

 

Guess you dont look at your pay stubs and READ what it says? New Breed truckers!

 

Glad you trust someone else to pay you correctly all the time...especially in this business.
