    As a rather inexperienced driver who got burned by my first Class A driving company, would you guys recommend going for this one?

    2 nights at home equals only 1 full day at home, which is not good for 2 weeks out.

    It looks good to me! I'd give it a try. HMD has pretty good looking equipment, and they're good sized.
     
    ChiefKeefy91 and Chinatown Thank this.

    2 weeks out and they are only averaging 2500-2800 miles a week? I average that and am home at least 4 nights a week. When I am on the road I want at least 3000 or it ain't worth it to me
     
    OlegMel and ChiefKeefy91 Thank this.

    I'm home every day and I'm running 3,140 miles a week on my scheduled bid. If I was running OTR my ### better be getting more than 2800 miles a week.

    Avoid the Chicago crowd...:rolleyes:

    Look at Marten Transport, instead:

    Marten Transport | Homepage


    Since you have more than 6 months experience -- you now qualify to drive 4 them.

    Also: their nearest terminal to you is in DeSoto, TX -- about 75 miles away. Not bad at all.
