    Holding tip of thumb and forefinger about 4 inches apart I'd call that a good 10 inches . Which is why most women can't tell measurements by eyeballing it since guys have been telling them that since the first glimpse .

    Lease operator, my truck, their trailers...
    When I used to run general van freight, Canada/USA most times $7k-$9k, best $11k. Too much sitting waiting for loads.
    When I ran in Canada only, pin to pin, terminal to terminal, $9k-$11k, best $14k.
    Now doing hopper bottom, lease operator, my truck and my super-b trailers, much better.

    Good Luck getting an honest answer , I've seen some youtube videos of drivers putting their paystubs where their mouths were by proving on video what they make, but there are alot of associated expenses...

    Pending on how you run expect anywhere from .80/mile to $3.00 a mile pending on who you pull for and how you pull... that's pre-tax and fuel of coarse .

    I've grossed $10k in a week. That doesnt mean I got to keep $10k in my bank account. Typically I net anywhere from $2000 - $4000 a week. Problem is thats money that needs to be spread out for potential expenses, paying bills (Momma needs new shoes) etc. And it fluctuates all the time. Like this week,.. very bad. I blew out 3 tires last week pulling over on the shoulder of a merge ramp to pee,.. there went $1796 and this week I'm only going to net $960 after sitting out the snow storm.

    Its never a steady expected average income. You have your slow weeks and you have your really good weeks,. and then you have everything in between. I never count what I think I should or might make. You'll go mad trying to predict the future.

    Besides,.. Its not how much you make. Its how much you get to keep.
