    I was wondering what people thought about it. I was talking to a recruiter and it sounds nice being home every week and doing your reset at home. My main question is about the miles. The recruiter said you average about 2000 a week. That doesn't sound like much since you have a full 70 hours every week. He said it was 95% drop and hook. He said since I have a few months experience that I would start out at .32 a mile. So I would make about $640 a week. Does that seem about right. I'd really prefer to run a few more miles but would love the home time. Thanks.

    Hometime equals sacrifice. Always sacrifice somewhere in this industry.

    640 minus taxes, expenses or others equals to a McDonald's job in the city at home every night son.
    Get with the program or get yourself a degree, playing the lotto more often may get results perhaps.

    The thought of Houston regional just doesn't sound appealing at all
