    “Nice” is what I thought, too. Best job I’ve ever had by far.

    I left Winter Haven this afternoon after my 34 was complete. I’m deadheading 1,086 miles up to Fair Oaks, Indiana to run some South Dakota loads.
     
    nextgentrucker Thanks this.

    Not me, give me a relaxed 1500 mile week where I can still gross over $2K. I have gotten lazy in my old age. :D

    Well, yeah, I'm young, and want to make money, that's understandable.

    If he's grossing 2k a week he's making money. Work smarter not harder.

    Dude, multiple people have mentioned LTL. Go get a job with one of the big boys, before you’re 30 you’ll be sitting large. OTR use to be the way to go, not anymore. Every time I read someone say miles, miles, miles, I get nauseous. There are jobs out there paying $2200 per week guaranteed, driving 1800-2000 miles per week. Then anything over 2200 miles pays $1.00 a mile. Ask me how I know. If I had to go back to 1979, when I started, knowing what I know today, I wouldn’t touch OTR. It would have been one of the freight companies.

    Are the Canadians treating you ok when you do your cross-border loads now? I was wondering if the tariff war and political head butting had caused any waves or unusual attitudes in the places you stop to eat, etc. I hope things are still well for you up there.

    Isn’t there a fed ex hub in Port St. Lucie @JohnBoy ? The one here in Ocala has multiple contractors hiring drivers with a years experience.
