    We get to the carolinas and Georgia pretty often. I am averaging about 2200 miles a week.

    subscribing for updates...

    I like the fact that they increase the pay per mile for the shorter runs, might make even a short trip comparable to a run that takes a couple days.

    Can you list your trip lengths per week?

    Curious if they have prepass?

    Are miles paid practical or zipcode?

    Please keep us updated. I'm from PA and Metropolitan is on my short list of potential employers for when I'm ready to make a change.

    Great company so far. I got held up after orientation ended on Weds. in PA, and left out PA to Toledo, Ohio 3am Thanksgiving morning. They called and said they were giving me $100 for the inconvenience of staying another night. They even fed me, and put in the hotel again.

    Last post by the original poster was on October 27th. Who knows if he/she is even with the company anymore. I wish those who start threads about companies would either continue to post regularly, tell everyone they're not going to post anymore, or let people know if they quit.
