    Just totaled January's numbers:

    12 loads picked up and delivered
    18 running days
    8053 loaded miles
    1354 empty miles
    $18,585.00 gross revenue

    $2.31/loaded mile average
    $1.98/total mile average

    Much, much better than I expected out of January.

    THAT'S GREAT!
    What are you pulling? Dry, flat or reefer?

    Are you leased onto a company or have your own authority?

    i am averaging 1.50 leased onto a company, so I am seriously thinking about getting my own authority and hopefully make more $$$$.

    I am currently working on getting my LLC right now

    I'm a company driver, but I'm essentially independent in that I book most of my own loads from load boards. The dollar figures I stated are what was paid to the truck; I get paid a fixed percentage of that figure.

    Now are those numbers average or did you do better or worse than most other months?

    yeah we had a good January too! We had to get creative at times....but we never hauled a load that grossed less then 3.35 per mile, we had to do this to make up for 32% deadhead.

    Had similar experience in Jan. Things were good. I don't break out load/unloaded. I have to drive them all so they all get billed.

    The miles I've posted are hub miles actually driven, FYI. Includes PC miles to walmart, truck stops, etc.
