    I do between 2500-3000 per week but they have other drivers that do 3500-5000 per week, depends how you want to run.

    I ask because in this thread
    http://www.thetruckersreport.com/truckingindustryforum/tmc/196735-dont-miss-it-3.html#post2965035

    several drivers are saying the miles simply aren't there. Good to see you're getting miles and good to know what other drivers are getting but what is the -average- miles drivers are getting? All companies have this figure per day, week, month and year, as it's a part of their bookkeeping process.

    Just thought I'd ask about average overall 'cause you tossed your email out there inviting prospective company drivers to contact you so I thought you were a TMC employee other than driver and that you may have that information. Thanks, though.

    Wouldn't that be grounds for a violation? Think about it. The logs would show the driver was speeding. For example, even averaging an impossible 70 mph for 70 hours only equals 4900 miles.
