    They are still average, but you won't get on right away. Gotta be here a while, and there's a waiting list
     
    RoadHungryTrucker Thanks this.

    I believe you gotta live near dallas houston or san antonio. I've talked to a couple ppl on the tx dedicated they said they make just a little less then otr but they get home most weekends.

    You really just have to live anywhere on their lanes, which is basically 10-35-45..
    Miles are a little lower, but yeah some drivers stay on cuz of the increased home time

    Well Nogg that was a fun Sunday , can't believe it went on all day but it was fun. I crossed lanes with another melton driver Jeff tonight and we are eating at Sapp Bros. Restaraunt south of Omaha on the 29 and I told him all about it , all about all the stuff we kinda had going on all around us and he was like " wow , I never have Laredo weekend's like that " . lol
    Anyways hope I bump into you again and hopefully next time we can start our weekend on saturday night so we can go into town and just use sunday to recover. Take it easy bud

    update: slow week last week 2100 miles , I turned down a 4th trip cause it was another 4-500 mile shorthaul, and ot was still in texas and could have started another whole week of texas shorthauls- and just took a 34 in Laredo and hope for a better week this week. On my way to Minnesota right now on a very easy /nice load of steel building parts so I am 1/2 way to a great week !
