Thanks for all of the replies. Brett, your numbers are right on. There was a post on here within the last week of a rookie claiming 3300-3600 per week. I knew those were "inflated" quite a bit. Just wanted some real life numbers. I do not understand why someone would post numbers like that on a forum filled with TRUCKERS! We all know when someone is peeing on our shoes and trying to convince us that it's raining.

Is it me? Nah I posted that because thats really my regular miles. This is my very recent settlement that I got today and this is my two weeks run plus my taxable check. That includes my stop pay and detention. We get paid bi weekly. I am running recaps and I am greatful that my company keeps me running. I know its hard to just believe but Yes I am not just claiming I am running over 3k miles a week but that is the truth. I run my ass off and never turn down every load they gave me and our truck governed at 68mph.

OTR:

Over The Road

OTR driving normally means you'll be hauling freight to various customers throughout your company's hauling region. It often entails being gone from home for two to three weeks at a time.

I just finished my first year as a Swift employee. This includes my team driving on the mentors truck. I pull dry van OTR. Gross income $45000. Total miles 115000. The pay includes performance bonuses. I feel it's pretty typical of a first year driver.

Dry Van:

A trailer or truck that that requires no special attention, such as refrigeration, that hauls regular palletted, boxed, or floor-loaded freight. The most common type of trailer in trucking.
