Oops! I misread your post. That net benchmark is already what you're working on - good for you keep it up!
I appreciate the kudos. Looks like this week will end with just over 2200 miles, but I am averaging a tick under 2500, so CFI is keeping this rookie going. I am getting better with trip planning and using my hours, so fingers crossed that miles will stay up. I'll be going home at the end of this coming week, so that will kill my weekly average, but the dog misses me, haha.
It's good to see you're doing good! Keep up the good work!

TruckingTruth was founded by Brett Aquila (that's me!), a 15 year truck driving veteran, in January 2007. After 15 years on the road I wanted to help people understand the trucking industry and everything that came with the career and lifestyle of an over the road trucker. We'll help you make the right choices and prepare for a great start to your trucking career.
Becoming A Truck Driver is a dream we've all pondered at some point in our lives. We've all wondered if the adventure and challenges of life on the open road would suit us better than the ordinary day to day lives we've always known. At TruckingTruth we'll help you decide if trucking is right for you and help you get your career off to a great start.

Glad to see that Don! You've just barely got your feet wet - you're doing real well. I like the way you're setting goals, and striving to reach them. You'll get to that $1,000 gross benchmark before you know it. Once you get accustomed to that you can set a goal for $1,000 net pay! You can accomplish that and more.
