    I was referring to Orientation Trainer... Not OTR

    Sorry I miscommunicated that.
    Ya, we might know your OTR trainer.

    I consider 5200 a great pay period. I get 2000 to 2500 a week. Which is ok for me. 2250 a week is really my magic number. Anything over that is gravy.

    Leave the truck in Richmond and rent a car. Thats what I do.

    Enterprise is 3 miles away and will pick you up and drop you off at yard.
     
    MidWest_MacDaddy Thanks this.

    The last thing I want to do is drive 800+ miles just to get home after a grueling two or three weeks of trucking. How often do you do that? Swift has a terminal in Ocala and Knight has one in Lakeland. I'll check them out.

    How about parking at the pilot in Haines city? Or, that shopping center that a lot of guys park at at the north west corner of 60/27?

    There is a truck stop on Highway 301/I-4 just east of Tampa that I know you can park at for a fee. I guess I could do that. How often do you get home to Florida?
