    The cpm means very little if you aren't getting the miles. What matters is what you bring home every week and that depends on the individual. Everyone's needs are different. You're averaging 1250 week so it's ok considering the current state of the country. You could definitely do worse.

    If I'm reading correctly, that is for 1 week, not 2. Or 59.57 mph for every minute of his 70.

    Everything is legal we haul stuff that have exemption and go by the book no point in trying to make money and risk getting tickets from stuff that are preventable

    That is correct
    I'm also pay by Google map miles from pick up to deliver spot Which seems kind of weird to me
    Edit
    Not the 60 mph for the 70 hour clock part the one week pay part
     
    Iamoverit Thanks this.

    I'd say you are doing very well if you are able to do that 3 out of 4 weeks per month on average.

    Only you have your monthly expenses & your financial goals. Only you can decide if your pay is worth it.

    That's a lot of miles in 1 week.

    Like was said earlier. CPM doesn’t mean crap if you don’t get the miles. My last com gig paid .72 a mile, but I didn’t see 4100 miles a week, nowhere near it. It was usually 2800 - 3000 or so.
