So where are the original pioneers of this form and the newbies?

I'm still here, and the same "warning" still applies.

If you see me raise one eyebrow and side glance in your direction,

It sounds like your dad has had some bumps along the way but is doing well. I am curious as to what he was hauling that grossed him $10,000 in a week?

Probably hazmat ping pong balls.

Poor baby. Would you like a hug?


I'd love to say I remember you, but I don't. Sorry.

No thanks. No hug required.

He left Monday afternoon and had a load from Nashville to VA that paid $1000 deadheaded to baltimore for a load that paid $6400 to washington that he picked up on Tuesday. He had two more partials he picked up in Ky and in Ohio $1050 and another for $1400 that droped in portland and SLC and the one in washington. He'll drop the load in WA on Monday and the load in portland later in the day.
It was about 4000 miles total at about $2.45/mile.

Usually $4000 is what he grosses per week. Net is usually around $2500. This is his best week ever and by no means is it usual. Of course he didn't come home this weekend.
I get excited for him when he does well.

I make $10,000 per week on a average 2,500 mile week too. But, after taxes, it works out to $0.32cpm. See what big government does to ya?

Net is usually around $2500.

And by "net", you meant after weekly expenses(fuel, tolls....)? Or actual net, considering all costs?
