    I sent my app in yesterday and got assigned a recruiter. Today got pre hire letter and talked with recruiter. She said I can go Regional or OTR all 48. The web site says I will get around 2500 miles a week. Will I make more?

    A lot depends on you. Will you be willing to play ball with management? They control your destiny with that company. You want to be a truck driver or spend THEIR time complaining. Instead of "I can't", you need to be "I can". Take all loads, manage your time wisely, and management will love you to death, which translates into more $$$ in your pocket.

    More freedom and less hassle would be to NOT do NE regional - just a matter of traffic and congestion... versus 48 states.

    I have read about people doing shorter runs and I know Swift pays more for shorter ones.
