    That sounds like a bad situation. You need 2000 miles to make 800 before taxes. If you work 5 days you need 400 per day. That's not possible if you go home everyday. just something to think about. I'm sure the recruiter sold you a dream of 800 to 1000 per week probably lol

    I know with CT, the local guys get paid per load based on distance. that's better I think if you are local

    That is where the experience comes to play and it makes sense.
