If I land the job I want, I will be driving mostly at night from what I was told, which I would prefer anyway. And I do plan on running as much as I can but I want to be smart about it and if possible, maximize the hours available.

 

It was all hypothetical. I had concerns about HOS limiting my earnings and just decided to put numbers in a spreadsheet to see how badly it would restrict my mileage. I was surprised to see that it is possible to drive fewer hours per day but make more money if it eliminates the need for a 34 hour reset. The difference was about $2750 a year at $0.40 CPM and not worth giving up all home time even if it could be done. It was all hypothetical and the reason I underlined could in my original comment.

 

From everything I have read, it sounds like 8.5 to 8.75 is the sweet spot anyway. I'm sure nothing will go the way I want it to though.

 

It sounds as though I'll have to take what I can get at first, but I don't expect to earn anything decent until my 2 year.
