Passed TMC's 3-week CDL orient, today I head out for OTR training

That's the trade-off.

They said last years top rookie made 80k at TMC. What I wish I knew was whether that was somebody who went home on the weekends or a runner like myself. Either way, I'll pass the 80k mark for my rookie year no problem.

 

I'm literally OTR. I've been in every state so far w/ the exception of Arizona, Cali, and Montana.

Mostly MW, then NE, followed by SE.

 

Yup, I took TQM right when I hit 1 month in the truck. I then came through DSM on mothers day weekend and asked Mark and Johnny to hold the advanced TQM class right then and there...just for me, so I could get the extra 3 free permanent points for your snapshot (5 for TQM + 3 for advanced)...but they declined.

I have all my endorsements + Passport (8 free perm. points)

My first snap was 32% and my 2nd and 3rd snap have been 33% and so long as I stay a runner, there shouldn't be any reasonable explanation why I should drop below 33%, with the POSSIBLE exception being MPG through the summer since I live out of the truck and will not hesitate the idle this big ##### if I'm somewhere hot for a 34, but so far I've been doing 220 points per certification.

You get that house paid off and be smart about the extra money you'll be making, and the amount you'll be saving (not spending on mortgage or that new super truck or motorcycle), and you'll become addicted to making this running money and wanting to stay out more and more for longer and longer.

I don't have a home or apartment, so I'm out here until I stop driving.

See you out here man and be safe!

 

Whoops, forgot I have that one too.
