It would have to be an independent hauling cheap, because no broker or insurance would allow it. That is one of the beast of trucking, they want their loads to arrive on time and in good shape. They don't entertain break downs, and damaged or spoiled loads.

You really are an idiot.
Just stop. Every post shows more ignorance.

In the 1990's I drove a 315hp truck limited to 62mph.
With a recorder that forced me to be under 57mph, 90% of the time.
I averaged 3100 paid miles/wk.
It was accepted at that time that the HHMG miles were up to 10% under actual. Considering post office to post office calculations don't even reflect load requirements, and the miles sometime driven within one city, I drove a fair amount more than 3100.

Later my wife and I were committed to being able to run 1100/day in a 350hp
truck with the same speed limitations. We didn't average that, obviously.

Changed jobs. We got in a real truck.
460 Cummins, 13 over, just shy of Tripple digit capable.
We didn't drive unusually fast. Just traffic flow speed.

We were running 5k paid in 5 1/2 days.

If you can do math,
That's over 150k solo counting 2 weeks vacation. But leaving out the unpaid miles.
About 20 years for 3 million. Solo.



The team mileage is closer to your numbers, except, we only worked 5 days.
