How many miles are in your 40 hour week
I'd like to get some numbers to make my own imaginary averages so i turn to you folks here on the forum for information.
Please take a moment to chime in with some experience.

How are imaginary numbers going to help you? Our jobs involve flats, vans, tanks, and dumptrucks as well as a mix of local, regional, dedicated and otr drivers. All you are going to get is an imaginary number.

OK, on the serouyis side , very few trucking jobs are 40 hrs a week and the one's that are probobly are out of your reach for a while due to experince. I drive about 53hrs a week then add in about 4 hrs to unload about 1hr to fuel at least 1.25 for pretrip ect. I wouldn't know what to do if I only worked 40hrs

I'm a local driver, so I probably don't count, but I work around 46-50 hours a week. I run 2,000 miles a week.

I'm an imaginary local driver, so I imagine that I do count. I drive an imaginary 2010 KW379. I haul Haz-Mat ping-pong balls, and I drive an imaginary 3500 miles each week, in a 32 hour week, at $38. per hour, + $2.74 cents per imaginary mile + expenses, including the cost of lot lizards!! Were it not for SteveBooth, I would still be wasting my life away in the real estate business and the energy industry. Last edited by Useless; 09-10-2009 at 04:44 PM.

I drive a rock bucket and i will do around 700-1,000 miles in a week. It depends on alot. Some days i only go 70miles. If there is alot of waiting to get unloaded at the job site. Sometime i have to wait 2hours or more at the blacktop plant to get a load.
