    Lets say you do 2800 miles and you are paid 30 cents a mile .....2800 X .30 = 840 gross take out 220 for uncle sam and you got 620 take out 150 for food and what nots 470 if ya owe for school lets say 50 bucks 420 lets not forget your bennies they will set you back about 50-75 a week 345 is left.

    So you can see you will be a millionaire in no time like the rest of us !!

    Of course your mileage and pay my vary ! Just multiply your miles by your cents per miles and start deducting from there !!:biggrin_25523:

    Unless you get paid percentage of truck. So far the most miles I've ran in a week is 2,200. But my largest paycheck came from one where I only ran 1,600. My paychecks (take home) range from $450 to $750 week, and I'm not getting the better paying loads.
