Swift miles

I pretty much run 2500-3000 a week and have done so since the day I went solo, only exceptions being home time and if I had to go in the shop. I'm not out of the NW but if you are all 48 they will probably run you to where the freight is.

 

so as I new driver I can hit 2500-3000 a week what is a average paycheck a week I can expect as a Solo New driver

 

I am not so sure a new driver will average that many miles.

A lot of different factors are involved.

Perhaps 2000 miles would be more accurate !!

 

When I was OTR, I typically ran 2000-2500 miles per week. I don't think I ever hit the 3000 mile mark in a one week period.

 

so I hear guys hitting 3000 so I should expect 2000-2500 in the beginning

 

That sounds reasonable....

 

I am leaning towards SWIFT but I wan to make sure that I will have a decent check but I know I have to pay my DUES

 

I've been with swift for almost year (solo) now. When I first went solo I was getting 2500-3000 miles a week. But as soon as I reached six months, my miles dropped to 1500-1800 miles a week. Now I.m regional, making .34cpm and averaging 2000 a week. The only thing that will save your paycheck is the tuition reimbursement every month. I pulled in $29k this past year, my first year as a truck driver.

 

It sorta depends how many live loads drop hooks and your DM. New driver I would say 2200ish just becusa learning trip planing and such. This week I have since Thursday ill have 2100 on Tuesday when I delivery so still have Tuesday and wednesday hopeing for a 500ish mile run delivering on. Wednesday give me 2600ish for week are pay period is Thursday thru Wednesday. But this time of year it sorta sucks freight slow after christmas. Of course I am delivery to west palm beach, FL so it's going to suck getting out of there big black hole that far south for us
