Well Moose, all bull **** aside, you should be able to come up with a gestimate yourself.

Jes take yer 340 days and subtract how many times you are going to break the truck. Then take the days you mis judged where the freight is, an subtract them. Then, take about half the weekends in that time period that you won't be loaded an subtract those days. Then, figgure how many miles on average you've run per day times the days you had left after the subtraction. An, walaa, you should be spot on. How's that for a scientific wild a$$ed guess. Bottom line is, thay ain't no answer (school book) it's a lot about "luck" considering your criterion mentioned. Even IF you are the best thing since canned peaches.
