    i would do it . but you'll have to run the 6 days on a wild card with potential lay overs to get the 98k..... when i was 11 western i remember running from PHX to LAS up 93 at night and those boys from OD and XPO were running triples at like 70 mph i couldn't keep up with them. i wonder if that trip could be done in 11 hours...

    What’s the home time like? Right now I’m running 6 on the road 2 home on a rotating schedule. I’d like to sleep in my own bed more than 3 times a week.
     
    Jay5GS Thanks this.

    If you're a linehaul driver at OD you're home nightly. Like I previously posted the company has made bagging out something we just don't do to much anymore. I'll run a few bag runs every now and then just to see some different scenery but I have to beg them to let me do it.

    I would say it's good and we have a few plans to choose from.

    I've been looking and considering this too, what's the average start and finish time with doing line haul here in Phoenix?

    So, I went and talked to the folks at OD today. They told me in all reality an lh driver will make around $86,000 his first year. Does this sound right? Also, being on extra board they may not have lh work for you,but you can try to run a p&d load of that happens. Is this a regular occurrence?

    I made $94,000 my first year and that was 8 years ago. This past year I made $131,700. I run out of a break terminal so that helps with getting the miles.
