    agree tankers mostly run out and straight back and can a lot of times get home once during the week and weekends.

    I have no problems with the camera. As long as you aren't holding a cell phone you are fine. I've never heard anything derogatory from Millis about the camera. About once every 3-4 months I'll get a message after I get brake checked or are in rush hour traffic and the camera goes off. About 2 days later I'll get a message that says "Drive cam notified up you were following too close." That's all. I never respond and never hear anything else.

    Horror stories are probably from guys busted messing with their cell phones. That's an instant termination offense.

    I run regional for Millis. Leave out monday and home Friday 99% of the time. (I take a load home on the weekends, live north of Macon.) I run about 2200-2600 miles per week. .46 per mile and with bonuses I am up around .51/mile. Big thing for me is that they don't mess with hometime. No calls wanting you to go back out. I take long weekends when I want, no issues. Just have to let them know 7 days in advance. I only run weekends right before I go on vacation to bump up the check. Other than that there is the occasional "can't get home until saturday morning because I ran out of time" deal.

    Also need to add that I get home during the week sometimes too. I'm sitting on my couch right now. Wednesday afternoon home and it's the second time this week. Not because there's no freight. Ran at least 500 miles every day this week so far and I'm taking friday off this week.

    Glad you showed up man because I'm really leaning that way so far. According to the website I'd start out at .46 too. Y'all got a rider policy? And were do you go mostly on regional out of Georgia ? Is it true southeast or anywhere just home by the weekend? Honestly I'd prefer to have access to the whole service area but still get home

    I believe Rogers Cartage has a terminal in Columbus. You could talk to the drivers and see how it is there.

    There is a Rider policy. You might have to wait 90 days without an incident as a new hire. Not really sure though.
    Ga regional runs probably 80% GA SC and AL. We also run NC VA MS TN and FL. You can go out of the region and they will ask for volunteers when they have freight going out of the region. OTR runs 99% East of I-35 and are out a minimum of 10 days. They pretty much stay north until it's time to go home for the most part. OTR also gets bigger sleepers, more room in the truck.
