I was on percentage my first year and i kept very detailed records on a spreadsheet. Loaded miles from Ohio (steel) southbound paid very well, backhaul was shaky, and deadhead was free. I was paid 26% and I averaged .37 mile for every single mile the truck moved, including out of route, every hub mile. I thought that was pretty good for a first year driver. I have no problems believing the numbers at TMC. You have to average it over a long period. A bad week might only be .28 mile but in a good week I could be .48 mile. We also had non forced dispatch and choices for loads so it helps if your good at math and a good planner when choosing your load. You have to think about backhaul and where you'll be empty.
