    Anyone else seen a drop in miles? Some drivers around here are noticing it.

    Where is "around here" ? I run dry van OTR and average 2800 - 3300 per week. Occasionally hitting 4000 in a week is not uncommon for me. You are probably just in a bad area for flatbed. You would probably have it made on the east or west coast since thats where most of the better flatbed loads are coming from.

    Right now, I'm in Birmingham. I run the east coast. I've talked to five drivers already that has seen a drop in mileage. Can't get over 1800. You team?

    Im solo and I see more than 1800 on home-time weeks. I run all 48 states though and I stay out for 4-5 weeks at a time.

    I dont actually work for Western. I wasn't paying attention to what forum I was in. I'm sure that has something to do with the difference in miles.
