You sound like some one who never learned how to make money or operated a business.
Truckers have DOT required hours of service. 14 hours on duty or 11 hours driving then have to shut down for 10 hours. Can only run 70 hours on duty in 8 days then have to shut down for 34 hours. 5 days of 14 hours on duty is 70 hours!
You can't legally make 10-2200 mile turns in 1 month. I can typically average around 650 miles per day. That means 2 days to run 1100 miles. Then you have unloading and loading time.
