How many miles are in your 40 hour week

[Styleten]

I'd like to get some numbers to make my own imaginary averages so i turn to you folks here on the forum for information.
Please take a moment to chime in with some experience.

what is a 40 hour week??

[Sealord]

The duration of a work week for drivers is either 60 or 70 hours (lines 3 and 4). In good times, it's not unusual to run more the 3000 miles in a 70 hour (8 days) week. BOL

How are imaginary numbers going to help you? Our jobs involve flats, vans, tanks, and dumptrucks as well as a mix of local, regional, dedicated and otr drivers. All you are going to get is an imaginary number.

OK, on the serouyis side , very few trucking jobs are 40 hrs a week and the one's that are probobly are out of your reach for a while due to experince. I drive about 53hrs a week then add in about 4 hrs to unload about 1hr to fuel at least 1.25 for pretrip ect. I wouldn't know what to do if I only worked 40hrs

I'm a local driver, so I probably don't count, but I work around 46-50 hours a week. I run 2,000 miles a week.

I'm an imaginary local driver, so I imagine that I do count. I drive an imaginary 2010 KW379. I haul Haz-Mat ping-pong balls, and I drive an imaginary 3500 miles each week, in a 32 hour week, at $38. per hour, + $2.74 cents per imaginary mile + expenses, including the cost of lot lizards!!

Were it not for SteveBooth, I would still be wasting my life away in the real estate business and the energy industry.

I drive a rock bucket and i will do around 700-1,000 miles in a week. It depends on alot. Some days i only go 70miles. If there is alot of waiting to get unloaded at the job site. Sometime i have to wait 2hours or more at the blacktop plant to get a load.

"All the coolie carriers suck. Log 70 (hours), work 80-100 (hours), paid for 50 (hours)." - the Great ColdFrostyMug

Yep! That pretty much is a wrap on OTR truck driving............ All boiled down to one sentence. Thanks CFM! You are a lifesaver!!!!!

Driving a rock bucket tends to be a "hurry up and wait" business. Over the past 18 months, those guys around here have been dropping like flies.

40 hour week? Does that mean I'm on overtime now?

[Hawkjr]

i was interviewed for an forty hour a week job three times.. And if not mistaking none of those jobs paid over 40,000 a year... i think one was right around 30K the other two was 36 to 38!! All three driving daycabs!!

I imagine I could get you one, but I don't imagine it would do you any good, Repete!! I imagine the reason it pays so well is because I handle HazMat ping-pong balls and secret classified government freight. I imagine that I got this job because of my Top Secret Security Clearance that I got back when I was a Navy SEAL while serving in the US Army in Vietnam.

Heh heh.....Waaaayyyyyy toooooooo many of the apologist/hero types languishing around aren't there Useless?

LOL Seems to me that not a single person in the Armed Forces ever served as a REMF....................

They're all mostly full of ****. They degrade those who took the plunge and served (serve) as special forces elements of the US military.

They have hidden behind anonymity (supposed) because of the inherent problems/delay with obtaining military records from the US Government. Not much longer though.....................ARPERCEN (Army Personel Center St. Louis) and the other branches to follow will be fully automated/digitized and completely online. Asswipe that served as a mail clerk in Vietnam and claims to have "wiped out everthing on the Ho Chi Minh Trail"................will be exposed for the asswipe that he/she is.

Thus, Useless.................maybe we will be blessed with hearing less of the US Navy SEALS/ARMY Delta Force/Air Force Para rescue BULL**** stories.

They're a dime a dozen.
