Now the bottom feeders like me might get next to nothing, might get 2900 in a week if we're swamped, or if it is a schedule its probably in the 300-400 mi range. Those top guys do take alot of vacations and someone has to cover their run! But all the little hourly time adds up too. I dont personally know any that made 104k but I know many top 90k. (I suck hind *** and I do 60k! LOL). Before evryone gets their panties in a bunch I aint braggin I'm just trying to share a little info. I know people are interested just from the PM's I get.

I was going to say until I read this post that the only way I could venture that someone could turn $2K in one week would most probably be on a Teamster job.
I've made just over $1800(gross pay) in one 7 day week, lots of hourly stuff included....but even still after that week was over....I was FRIED and didn't even want to think about working any more for a couple of days.
My logs are and stay legal.....fines are too damned high for violations to try and do it illegally.
