    Right now I have 6 months of experience and running teams making $800/week. This company pays by the trip and we run east coast to west coast. I find $800/week to be a little on the low end, especially for teams. If I go solo, should I average $800 or more a week? I want to go solo so my wife can ride with me and get another 6 months of experience and try to go local. Thanks, guys/gals

    Stick it out for another 6 months. Your 1 year of experience is like a golden ticket.

    We run close to 6800 miles. If we were paid mileage pay it would equal about 24 cents to the truck.
