    I drove for Swift for a year, and averaged about 2,600 miles/week. They have a lot of terminals where you can get fuel, shower, park. They are cheap at first, I think they start new drivers at $.26/mile for the first 6 months. In a year you'd be at $.31 with plenty of miles. One other thing, Swift pays $.04/mile safety bonus/quarter. That's a nice chunk if you're paying attention. Trucking companies want to roll loads, everything else is up to you.

    Holy Thread revival!@!

    Guy has 5 posts, I would think he is working a fry station at In&Out bout right now.

    On a side note, that swift truck is in a Walmart parking lot in Chehalis Washington, after a flood.
    The kayak is actually blue, not white - the image was doctored:
