    If you're talking to a recruiter, and his lips are moving, chances are he/she is lying. just my two cents. good luck

    We''ll see. I know my bank account will be happy. That's a big jump from $16 hr. They say it's possible to get home most nights. I highly doubt it. It's 10+ hours driving on Google maps. Michigan has 60 mph truck speed and Google maps is at 4 wheeler speed. I don't have any tickets and I plan to keep it that way.

    I highly doubt you will be home very many nights, but then what do I know? Depends of course on where you start, where you end, and what the hours are for the amount of traffic. Seems to me like a stretch for a line haul to get home any night though.

    At any rate, good luck to you Joe!
