    Yes. Or no.

    What are your operating costs per mile?

    Figure $1 mile to operate without paying yourself. Whatevers left will be for you. If doing less than 2k miles per week cost per mile will increase.

    Why are you asking without telling us your cost of operating the truck?

    You've been driving 15 years and dont know how to figure operating cost? This is why the industry sucks...

    If they keep you rolling , 10-12,000 miles a month you’ll do fine.
    I was at one that thought 8,000 miles was good, but then next month they’d only give you 6,000 miles. Go broke doing something like that.
