hey there Im looking into celadon I have 4 yrs exp. i live in Springfield Ma. looking to go otr whats the average miles per run and what is the type of frieght last question are you mostly TL or LTL.
emaUOTE=Atlas117;3387231]Over the road, they ask you to stay out for two weeks minimum between time off requests - three weeks if you want to make any money. You could run anywhere in the lower 48 + Canada; they'll have you apply for a passport if you don't have one (at company expense). Most Canadian runs will take you south of Toronto. Once in a while we'll have runs close to Montreal, Winnipeg, etc. but they're somewhat rare. Shouldn't be too hard to get you home to that part of Virginia. Any questions, let me know. I dispatch for Celadon.[/QUOTE]

38 to 40 cents a mile isnt to bad

Full truckload; rarely you'll get multiple stops with additional pay for each stop. Not sure about the standard pay... it is low if you don't have any experience, 33 cpm or something close to that, I think. With 4 years OTR I don't know where you would start. Average length of haul is 400 miles for the OTR planning division. That's a really low number... lower than usual, but that's the number right now. They're working on improving that number too... before long, the system that matches trucks with loads will look at your last few loads and assign you better freight if you've recently taken short loads.

I don't know the northeast freight lanes very well so I'd rather not comment on that.
There's a lot of drop/hook as well as some live unloads. Lots of different types of freight - Walmart, P&G, Owens Corning, Lowe's, Home Depot, Family Dollar, GM, Chrysler, Toyota, Bridgestone/Firestone, Imperial Tobacco, Kohler, Ikea, etc. etc....roadhammer123 and Flex Thank this. -
