How many miles did everyone average a day while driving OTR with a trainer? I know there are a ton of variables but just a rough guess.

I'm averaging a little over 500 a day and it feels like I'm really starting to get things accomplished. Too bad I'm only getting paid a flat rate and not cpm for training haha

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.

CPM:

Cents Per Mile

Drivers are often paid by the mile and it's given in cents per mile, or cpm.

Sounds about right.

I ran Albertsons dedicated so it was around 400 average. It really worked out in my favor too because its not hard to hold a steering wheel all day but because we had multiple deliveries in a day, like 6 or 7 I got to do a lot of backing and that really helped.

The most I ran in one day was 560. Usually closer to 450-500 as an average.
