how many miles?

I am just curious as to how many miles you personally are getting? I am wondering mainly about the team straight trucks. In your response the company your with and if your a team or not would be appreciated. Thank you for any insight you have !

We're a team straight truck with Tri-State. We are getting around 1500 to 2000 miles a week. Right now miles are really bad. We're getting about half of what we should be getting. Got to remember Jan and Feb are the worst expediting months, add a bad economy on top of that and miles are on a diet. Real slim.

We are with FDCC and we are not paid by the mile. Year to date our truck has run more loads than last year for the same dates. The pay per mile both loaded and overall is up over last year at the sametime. The runs have been shorter. That is just the luck of the draw. I don't know is this will continue for us or what? I hope it does or even gets better. Layoutshooter
