I hear that it's impossible for a company driver to average 7000 miles per week averaging over 2000 dollars a week

so I want to know is there a way to run your book to get more mile so that you can make more money

now the reason i am asking 1 need more money and 2 my cousin maid 1500usd one week so its not too far to get the rest

Truck governed at 65 mph...
Average speed, 62 mph

70 (hours in 8 days) / 8 days = 8.75 hours a day

Fueling, pretrip, post trip = .75 hours a day

8 X 62 = 496 miles a day

496 X .40 per mile = $198.40 a day

$198.40 a day X 7 days = $1388.80 a week.

Now, if you use the 34 hour reset every week, you can not work a full 7 day week. Not even 6. Without cutting off the time for fueling, pretrip, and post trip, by only being able to drive 66 hours a week, you've got $1636.80 per week. Don't know how you plan to get the rest. Of course, this is based on a meager $0.40/mile. How much do you get? Plug yours in and see what you get.

$2000/7000 miles=.28 per mile. And you want to 7000 per week as a company driver? Good luck!

That would mean running an AVERAGE of 106 miles an hour.

He is going to need to drive with the left door closed.

well he did have 9 points on his license......

:lol2: :rofl::rofl::rofl:

This thread has to be a joke. A lot of teams do not get 7000 mile per week. This should be moved to the comedy section.

Actually, if you run your butt off, never stop to load or unload, fueled when you did a PTI, and averaged 62 mph:

Now good luck finding a carrier who doesn't want you to load or unload, but rather just drive around.:rofl:

Okay, Dobry... you forced me to do the math, so here it is. Windy was getting CLOSE when he changed from wussy trucking at 8.75 hours/day to supertrucking and using the 34 hour reset. :clap:

Now, it is impossible to get 7000 miles a week no matter WHAT you do. But, 2 grand can be done easily with 2 days off every week... hypothetically speaking. ;)

Let's say you have one of those cushy linehaul drop 'n hook runs like say.... HOBO! And you have a fast truck and run out West like Hobo USED to do! And you make 50cpm like say.... Snowman!! :lol2:

You must have a run of more or less exactly 660 miles one way, and when you get there, you D&H and fuel and return (after taking 10 off.)

I can fuel and D&H in 45 minutes, and twice a week, I could shave 15 minutes off that because my truck will go about 1000 miles on a tank of fuel.

Starting at 7 a.m on Monday morning, I average 60 mph for 11 hours (660 miles) and spend 45 minutes a day on pretrip, D&H and fueling. Then I take 10 off and make the return trip. That's 21.75 hours per leg. I can do 6 legs (3 round trips) in 70 WORK hours (if I shave .5 hours by not fueling each leg.) [6 X 11.75 = 70.5]

That's 6 legs X 660 miles (averaging only 60 mph,) or 3960 miles/wk.

6 legs @ 21.75 hours each = 130.5 hours (then subtract the half hour per above.)

Now, subtract the final 10 hour break, as it is part of my weekend after finishing the last "return" leg to home base, leaving me with 120 hours to make 6 runs.

120 hours / 24 hours per day = 5 days. I get home at 7 a.m. on Saturday morning and don't return to work until Monday morning.

Belpre takes the weekend runs, cuz he needs the extra money! :clap:

I get paid 50 cpm cuz I'm Snowman (or CFM, Lebron James, Belpre or others) and .50 X 3960 miles = $1980/wk!! A half penny more per mile makes it an even $2000. ;)

My wife lives right next to my home terminal, so I get a WHOLE 10 hours off with her and the brats every 32.75 hours (twice each workweek).... and two full days on weekends! :hellno::hellno::thumbsdown:

Don't TELL me that jobs like this don't exist, cuz I hear people here on CAD bragging about such things nearly every day! :lol:

I'm sure Blake can FIND such a job, cuz he has a jodge in his pocket! :lol: Just kidding ya, Blake!

Oh.... and if I only take a 34 hour restart, I can do an extra leg per week, which means I only have to make 43 cpm, and J.B. Hunt will promise you THAT! :lol2:

But, that would mess up my circadian rhythm... AND my line 5 time! :lol:
