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.
Well my avg is heavily skewed due to the 1.5x/2x pay for Dec and Jan this year. I worked 170 and 210 those months…and have been crediting a bit more on the 3 months I had vacation. A couple sick calls followed by a premium pick up here and there when block/FDP buffers wouldn’t let me pick anything up due to the way they’re building lines.
There’s been a couple project pilot TR pulls and IOE pulls too where I’ve picked up around. The rest is just the usual reroute dysfunction…some months you get lucky and others you don’t hear from scheduling at all.
I’d guess my usual avg is around 120-130 but the last couple years have been a bit….weird.
