<p>[QUOTE=&quot;newbie driver, post: 3207053, member: 14176&quot;]Actually, .35 a mi might actually be a fairly accurate number, and maybe even a little high.&nbsp; I do know a company that pays straight time by the hour, from the time you leave untill the time you get back, but they also do not do any backhauls, so the truck keeps moving.&nbsp; one of the drivers that I know makes 70k a yr doing that, but he punches in on monday and punches out on friday.&nbsp; He hauls trusses out of verona wi, drives out to the job, unload, head back.&nbsp; He nets about the same as I do as an o/o.&nbsp; as I stated in an earlier post, I had a pretty set route that got me pretty good miles as a solo driver.&nbsp; I didn&#039;t need any babysitting or nose wiping, that is how I got a dependable route.&nbsp; I know that if I had a team driver in the truck with me I would not have been able to double my miles. first of all because I am flatbed driver. there is some weekend work for flatbeds, but not enough to keep the truck rolling. and because trying to schedule delivery times to keep a team rolling seems to be an impossible task for the large companies[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
