    Cowpoop, average, good? I usually go out 3-4 weeks then hometime for 3-4 days. I just do the typical dry vans and reefer loads. Thanks in advance.

    Should be running about 11,000. At a minimum.

    If you're happy with the paychecks, then 8000 is good. We all have different wants & needs.

    8k is a bit low, even for me.
    Everyone knows I am on the lazy side, but I do not like under 9-10k per month.

    Are you happy with the money? It's not all about miles. Some of us work off %

    If I aint getting 10k a month I'm doing something wrong... And I'm home every week.

    I average about 12-13k a month.... My personal best is just over 15k... Something like 15,350, or there about.

    I average between 8k and 9k, but I'm on percentage, not miles. The fewer the better for me usually.

    I don’t feel happy with the money at 40cpm as a company driver with 2 years of experience. It just feels inadequate. Where is 40cpm compared to other OTR company drivers though?
