They didn't like the rate so went out of service lol! Doing laundry, maybe I should go back in service this is harder work with no pay! :p Sent from my VS910 4G using EO Forums mobile app

No but as someone who owned a business before I know turning a profit on 100 hours that equates to 4 bucks an hour profit paid to me is bad business! If I'm going to put in the hours and make what equates to minimum wage I'll go be a door greeter. I've worked on commission, owned my own...

Came home got a nibble, might head out tonight! Sometimes it's more work being home! :) Sent from my VS910 4G using EO Forums mobile app

And I'm not saying use this method to calculate your income but use it as an extra tool to look at things from a different angle. Like my real life example. We have taken this same run 5 times, the broker had this run every Monday. It's never ready at our appointment time, we have to wait up to...

But shouldn't your average mile per shift come into play? If you average 50 miles per hour it takes 10 hours to go 500 miles but if I average 70 miles per hour I go 500 miles in just about 7 hours! Leaving me 3 hours to make more money, take a nap or whatever. Not to mention I've now not had to...

It's going to depend on previous experience according to your hypothetical question the pays a total of 220 dollars or 27.50...going off just 400 miles. Now if previous experience tells you, you're going to have to occur extra expenses after the run to deadhead to a good freight area or spend 24...

According to "normal" people neither do I! :p Sent from my VS910 4G using EO Forums mobile app

Delivered earlier today, met up with some new friends...close to home. Debating on a day off or to keep on keeping! Sent from my VS910 4G using EO Forums mobile app

I'm talking about after delivery taking time off and I'm allotting time off for 30 min break, restroom stops, fuel, etc. We actually quite often hit 650-700 in one shift...the original question was what do average on a shift, and we've found many teams saying they average less. We always lower...

Okay I just got done driving and haven't read all the comments but wanted to break my way of thinking down. I come from a financial background so I'm looking at not just my profit minus expenses but since time is money my hourly potential profit or lost. It's easier to just show some examples...

I'm still trying to wrap my head around someone who writes a blog and news article on expediting, who calculates everything doesn't pay attention to this number. Yes it varies depending on certain conditions such as weather, traffic or construction just to name a few. This business is ALL about...

Since I haven't being driving very long Spongebox does the same often. Nyc, Chicago or Atlanta or typically his domain. Sent from my VS910 4G using EO Forums mobile app

What happens in a deliver by such and such time? Say in 12 hours and it's 610 miles if you know you're not capable of more than 500 miles every 11 hour shift you know you can't take the run. You have to know your limitations and capabilities. Sent from my VS910 4G using EO Forums mobile app

I thought it was closer to 1300 since I out ran you? Lol! Sent from my VS910 4G using EO Forums mobile app

They ran paper logs like us, so up in the left hand corner they were recording their total miles. Sometimes we only record the day total not our individual miles but we have an average number. I guess if you're not running paper logs you're not filling the info in so you are not as aware. Sent...

Depends on the driver...I beat you on the last trip! :p Sent from my VS910 4G using EO Forums mobile app

Hahaha that's funny! Relax? That's what you call a 1400 mile run? I didn't even get a shower! Least we are staying south in the warmth...I think we need a hotel night, with a jacuzzi tub so I can let calgon take me away! :p Sent from my VS910 4G using EO Forums mobile app
