i probably shouldnt have put the dollar figure in, but I was more interested in the average miles per week.

my real job at home is getting worse by the day, so im really anxious to get started.

Well I hope that you understand how the data is somewhat faulty.

Government data is generally as faulty as it is accurate.

For instance:

Within the fatality reports compiled by the USDOT, the total number of deaths include not only those in "trucks" but all the deaths in vehicles which have a GVWR in excess of 10,001 lbs. Further all deaths which occurred in combination vehicles include deaths in RV's, to include 5th wheels, travel trailers or RV's pulling a trailer or any kind.

These same statistics are used against the trucking industry and mis-portrayed as "deaths in trucks"...."KILLER TRUCKS" also known as CMV's. Statistics generated by civil servants....who may or may not give a damn....are probably the result of darts thrown at a board with numbers on it..... :shock:

I wouldn't even waste my time compiling 2003 stats.

I don't know its sort of interesting compiling statistics using 2003 miles against 2007 counts on drivers and trucks versus fatalities for the last 2 years even if the truck was not directly involved with it.
