    Next week you won't make any money on mon-tue, since you will to deadhead out of FL most likely. Even if you gross $5000 for the remaining of the week, it still puts you at $7500 weekly average, which is really good

    Yeah, I don't expect from FL something, but this was a good load 22k pounds and good mpg for me.
    Previous week my gross was 5300 for 2056 miles, because of labor day. I think 7k is closer to weekly average.

    That is all very tight Fin. No offense buddy but it sure does look like logbook out of the window stuff. I work hard too and I am not saying you are making this up but that is tough stuff you are describing.

    Yep! I'm studying how to work better. Yes my logbook very tight. I'm usually have breakfast and dinner when I'm loading or unloading. I'm cooking in my truck, hate fast food. So my stops usually only for restroom between my start of working day to end. And I'm usually have a next load before delivery, so I can plan my working day better.
