So so true . There is an art to running ELD's with good time management. I got almost 160k miles for 2024 and done it all in a flatbed running out west. I've run into drivers with my company that complain about getting miles but they don't run their elog very well...

160k sounds like a lot of work

The year before I came to my current company, I worked for Shaffer and grossed $93k. My 1st year running flatbed at SPD I was in the low $90's, last year they added the option of sick pay which helped me get into the mid-$90's. Both years here at SPD I ran 130k+ miles.

Location typically isn't an issue for this nomad. I just want to start hunting dor what I qualify for. I've got doubles and tanker endorsement, I qualify for hazmat. I just need a list of companies

75k is pretty much the norm these days. Are you going to companies that are too big too keep all drivers busy, or.......possibly, are you running the miles correctly? I say that because drivers cost themselves a lot of money by having an unwillingness to utilize the entire 24 hr clock to make the miles. Others think they have to sleep at the truck stop every night as opposed to sleeping at customers, if allowed, and many of them do allow for overnight parking. I'm not saying this is you, but I'm just putting thing out there.

They're a smaller company that took me in when I had violations. They have my pay capped because of an income gurantee which I badly needed at the time. Now that I've repaired my record it's time to move on.

What are your home time requirements and location? My lowest year since starting OTR in 2021 was 71k. Last year was mid 80’s. And that’s all been at basic, door swinging OTR gigs

even the most barebones home daily jobs, like Ryder and Transforce dedicated runs, are guaranteeing 1200+ a week

I’m not being mean or making fun, just trying to figure out if it’s cause you live somewhere like Miami or Phoenix or if you’ve just had bad luck so someone can make recommendations

as far as broad recommendations, Crete and GP Transco would put you over 75k doing basic dry van OTR

I can usually stay out for a minimum of 2 months without home time. My base state is Virginia but I am will to relocate if need be. I have doubles and tanker. Some experience in doubles and heavy weight hauling Canadian B trains for a year, no experience in tanker but I would be willing to receive training.

I imagine, A Duie Pyle, and ABF would the 2 biggest. Pitt Ohio, may also be around.
