    Rubbish!!!!!!...The few weeks i ran 3000miles,i made $1100+ those weeks! Less miles =less $$$,doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out!

    Wow, if I ran 3000 miles and even after fuel and charges only made $1100, I would have to consider going elsewhere. On a typical 2800 mile week, I usually take home $1700 to $2000. In the right setup, it isn't always about miles. If the rate flexibility is there, then one can actually do better on shorter runs that don't rack up so many miles in a week if the rates one gets on shorter hauls is better. And considering you don't use so much fuel, the net comes out better. And what of detention, drop pays, etc? If one is getting good money from those, then sometimes a shorter haul with multiple drops wins out over a long haul. It is called working smarter, not harder.
