Fun fact: Last year, the average advertised pay for an OTR or Regional driver was $75,000, yet the US BLS reported the average salary at $48,200. Bunch of liars out there making it hard for the good companies to find folks who are jaded and mistrusting... and for good reasons.
I found it laughable last night when I ran across a post elsewhere, a guy was trying to find a driver for his "75 mph truck" claiming you would get 5,000 miles per week. Unfortunately for him, it would take an average of 76 mph for a full week's worth of hours available to manage 5,000 miles, so unless this was a dedicated D/H run from Wyoming to South Dakota and back in an unlimited truck, the math says it is an impossible claim... but I bet somebody falls for it and get 2700 miles/week instead. He'll quit, and the guy will be back on social media trying to find another sucker.

The poi
Wait, I don't have to justify anything with you. Go pound sand. I want to drive OTR. I enjoy it. Some of us do. -

Ok, bud. As I mentioned earlier, hourly pays better and a driver can be home in his own bed every night. I'm going to place you on ignore now so you can move on with your life. For future reference, if you don't want to deal with people talking to you then I suggest you NOT QUOTE them or approach them in dialog. Have a good day. -
I’m just going to interject 2 points.
1) Every last one of these companies are all the same, except for one obvious point, the color schemes on the trucks.
2) If in fact it’s an hourly job, with all the nanny cam hand holding BS, that shouldn’t be a concern, everyday, drive in the right lane, 10 under whatever the posted limit is. Go down the road singing and waving at everyone.
Point being, you’ve done most of your due diligence, came here and asked pertinent questions, now give it a shot, worst case scenario, it doesn’t work out so you’ll get another job. -
