    Try Estes express out of Memphis, I'm pretty sure they're hiring regional extra board guys out there that start at .52 cpm and you can be home weekly or run the road like OTR (up to you). You can expect to gross $1000 at the beginning and then closer to $1500 once you learn how to run the system and get good at hooking sets.

    Dang man, you're a greedy SOB then. :biggrin_255:

    Na but if you're already making that much then you should start saving for your own truck and trailer if you wanna make more money. You are doing REALLY good if you're regularly making 1000-1500 a week.

    Yea but that's a whole other ballgame, lot more planning, managing expenses, creating a sustainable business plan, specializing in certain freight.

    You're doing about as well as any company driver will do in 95% of companies.

    How does a two year driver for Schneider make up to $1500 per week and home on the weekends in a 62 mph truck?
