A new OTR driver will often average between 8-10k miles a month, depending on the company and region they run. In the beginning, it will be closer to 8k on average. Consistently doing over 10k miles a month is going to take a good company with a competent dispatch system and a reasonably hard-working, efficient driver with a bit of experience.
Labrador Thanks this. -

Run everything they give you and get it there early as possible and the people in charge will notice and throw you more/longer runs.
I did $67K my first year in 2016 when I was only getting 37 CPM. Mileage wasn't the only thing I got paid for though. Extra stop pay for multiple stop runs, detention, Canada border crossing etc. It all adds up.Labrador Thanks this. -

Lets do some math... if you run 7 days a week for 50 weeks a year on recaps, its 70/8 so 8.75 hours average. Call it 50 mph average at .55 cpm its $84,218 per year.

Means no 34 hour resets. How often are you trying to get back home? We can play with some more maths.
