Not my bag of tea at all. I have a life outside work and live well below my means, so I don’t need to work that much.
I am finishing my 7th year and have avg’d 140/mo this year with only picking up 2-3 days of work at premium every month.
Just curious how you do that. It seems like most of our lines average roughly 95 TFP when awarded per month. A very high-paying three day premium trip pays 35-40 TFP. Most pay 30-35 TFP. Some pay less than 30 TFP. On very rare occasions, I've seen a 3-day in open time that paid more than 40 TFP.
I guess if you scored a very high-paying three-day premium trip each month that paid approximately 40 TFP, it would get you to 135 TFP with an average-paying line. But maybe you bid lines that pay right around 100 TFP or trade trips that bring your line total up to around 100 TFP - which would require four 3-day trips paying an average of 25 TFP (pretty high-paying) or some similar combination of trips - and then you score a super-high-paying 3-day premium trip at 40 TFP. That's impressive if that's how you're doing it.
