38k and 105,000 miles

[derelict77]

" 38k- 105,000 miles" Is that respectable for a rookie year? No tickets, no accidents, and I am alive.

[street_95]

those numbers sound about right.....box trailer i assume

[derelict77]

Yep, pulling a box.

Sounds reasonable!!!

What part of the country did you mostly run in??

Congratulations on your first year and your safety record!! :rock:

And who do you work for?

[derelict77]

I am employed by Gordon Trucking, and I work only in California. I almost left them for a local job after 6 months because my family situation requires that Im home every night. They said they wanted to keep me because deliveries are never late and I dont lolligag between loads, so now they even get me home every night.

Keep up the good work!

California has 55MPH speed limits for big trucks, and that in itself will slow you down, not to mention Ca. traffic!! Since you get home every night, you probably don't get as many miles as you would OTR.

I admire you for having your priorities straight, and I'm glad that Gordon has the insight to see the value of keeping a good, safe, reliable driver.

In any event, Congratulations once again, and keep up the good work!!

Just love it when people post good stuff about Gordon

LMBO Dork boy. Your to funny.
I'm sure you know I wasn't talking about the money he made. I was talking about them working with him to keep his job. Money helps but it's not everything. If your not happy a pay raise only makes you happy for a day or two... If that... So stick :dung: in your pipe and smoke it. :twisted: :wink:

P.S. sorry about the girlfriend thing, hope that works out for the best.

Sounds about par for the Course.

For comparison I made ~34k and I got my license in mid April of 06. I've only driven 15-20k miles. The rest is a mix of City P&D and being an overpaid lumper with a CDL.

38K for a rookie - nothing to complain about.
38k for an OTR driver with more than 1 yr exp - horrible
38k with any experience working in the NW and home daily - ?

I guess it depends on what your looking for. Home time or money. There is only one person that can answer that question for you.
