Depends on the kind of freight too. Household can gross that in their sleep. I was trying to be conservative. Without going into all the details we're going into now. But if you're not grossing that at two or three, something's wrong. Okay, two busy solo freight trucks or one busy team truck. Depends on the kind of freight too.

I was doing ok until I came to this - it's not a $5, $10 or $15 word - no, this is clearly a $25 word! A Republican word no doubt. This was clearly unfair of you. I had to open another "window" and Google the word. That took me to Wikipedia. That told me that a terabyte is - actually it says that - the VALUE of a terabyte is based upon a decimal radix - base 10 - and is defined as one trillion - short scale - bytes or 10,000 gigabytes. A terabyte contains 1,000,000,000,000 bytes. My head hurts just thinking about this. And I have you to blame. Would "Joe" the plumber use such a word. The answer is no. Neither would "Joe" the trucker. I don't think Sen. McCain or Gov. Pain would know what a "terabyte" is. I know Sen. Biden would have no idea. And Sen. Obama? I don't know. I looked it up and I still can't get my hands around it. I do know it has something to do with a lot of something. Did you know YouTube holds over 600 terabytes of user-submitted videos. The Library of Congress has 70 terabytes of data. Really a lot of stuff. T-e-r-a-b-y-t-e-s. I still think its some kind of dinosaur. A really big one! “Terabytes” of information?
