I'm an empath, not a psychic lol. Btw I didn't elaborate but those are weekly miles driven. I also pull refer and have never been late to a delivery. My average run is in the 600 to 800 mile range and 90% of the time am east of the Mississippi from Florida to Illinois and all states in between. Maybe once or twice a month I go as far into the NE as Pennsylvania or Maryland. I've picked up out of New Jersey twice. So thankfully I don't get into New England which is fine by me. =) I don't have any desire to run up there. I also live in Florida which I guess is why I stay in the southeast and Midwest..idk.
Truck drivers who regularly pick up from or deliver to the shipping ports will often be required to carry a TWIC card.
Your TWIC is a tamper-resistant biometric card which acts as both your identification in secure areas, as well as an indicator of you having passed the necessary security clearance. TWIC cards are valid for five years. The issuance of TWIC cards is overseen by the Transportation Security Administration and the Department of Homeland Security.
When I started for Prime I was getting avg of 3200 per week and I go to Canada I have never been late but I have been repowered 2 times and When I started I got along with my fleet manager. She knew I was a strong driver off the bat.. Because I knew way before them if I wasnt going to make it to my 90 on time. Now I live in New England but I didn't drive this far north unless I was coming home.Traffic here sucks.... You just need to figure what company is best for your family i.e benifits, home time. mile pay, how old the trucks and trailers are, will they take care of you when needed. Companys do not want you to sit because its there truck and its not making money sitting there. Yes sometimes you get stuck in a bad spot after you get unloaded and there are no loads leaving that area.But they will dead head you if need be. I many stayed south and west of NJ I ran alot from canada threw detroit down to texas and back up the same way.

I avg 2500 a week with Swifty. The last two weeks have been really good. I did 3300 in six days and was wore out by the end of it. Winters (dec through feb) are horrible. I had one week that was 1500. Not even worth showing up for work for that. Right now though I am running more than I want to simetimes.
