    I have posted on here a bit and decided I'll kind of give a day to daybpost about my time at DHT. I've had PMs with people not believing the average haul and the average pay. So I'll post what's going on and where I'm going. I'll take pics and upload them if need be as well.

    I'll start with today, no going back in time. I'm in Columbus, Oh. Sitting at Estes as I am ahead of schedule. I'll be getting a load to Calexico, Ca. Thisbs a normal route when I deliver to Chillicothe, Oh with Kenworth parts.

    Any questions, ask away.

    I believe base pay is .34 cents for 4 years. You'll get 3300-4000 miles a week. My 6 week average is 3807 a week. Trucks do 67 mph.
    Lots of guys are home 3 days after being out 2 weeks. I work 3 and come home a week.

    Not at all... You run 12-13k a month which is normal and I'll make 69k this year... I challenge ANYONE to prove their company is better

    I run about 8k miles per month and make 65k per year. Sounds like you're working 50%-62% harder for 6% more money than me. And I'm home every night and off weekends. I'll take my job over yours anyday.
