So if you can manage to avoid many of the traffic delays, find easy parking when you need it, try to get some of your appointment times moved ahead, and rest before you become too exhausted, you'll be able to turn more miles, make more money, feel more energetic, be a safer driver, and please your company immensely with the same amount of sleep as a driver with less-efficient time management skills.
And what mileage goals should you shoot for? In your first six months on the road as a rookie I would say about 2400-2700 miles per week would be a solid goal to shoot for. From about six months to a year on the road you can up it a little bit - maybe 2600-2900 miles per week. After you've been on the road for a year you should be able to run about 3000 miles or so per week on average safely without burning out.
