    35 cents per mile. Or $1 per mile lease pay.

    Yeah,I on the other hand work 70 h (or more ) a week but every year I take 2-3 months vacations. Like they say "whatever floats your boat".

    You do realize what one driver makes on his net on Colorado isn't going to what another makes in Florida. You should concentrate on the gross, because the gross amount of what you earn is what matters.

    Dry van is the easiest so it pays the least.

    Bumping docks and swinging doors will pay far less than tanker for flatbed usually. Sure you can find 25-30 an hour bumping docks here and there but generally speaking it’s not where the money is.

    No there's a huge difference. Your net is what you get after your taxes are taken out. I average $1350 a week on my gross, my net is around $1000 After taxes, and my insurance is taken. There is a difference
