    I and my '08 Columbia leased our services to Conway Truckload 2 years ago. Since then I've averaged 125K/annual. However, in doing your calculations please note, I only work about 3wks/month. Maybe 25 days, so around 3K/week/12K/month. All year, not up or down much.

    I don't like to plan more than 500 miles a day. Slow and Smooth. Past couple months I've been doing 350 miles a day.

    500 a day is a basic figure for me. I can't disclose much else. Muwahahaha

    really it's up to u, how much do u wanna beat your truck up and is the freight worth it?

    if the customer is paying, go for it (600mi+)

    just b safe

    No high season for me consistent milleage throughout the year most loads are minimum 1600-1800 miles one way, so it's always pedal to the metal!
    One thing important is i do operate from Canada to the US for that matter i don't have to put up with short load, log book is filled every week then back home.
    I do have papers and elog in the truck and with lot's of planning and discipline papers and elog looks pretty much the same.
    Dont get me wrong like anybody else sometime sh...hit the fan and i can't hit my target.
