    That all depends on the company you work for. I run regional Northeastern or Bison Transport. Go out Sunday around noon and back in on Friday afternoon. Average around $80,000 a year for last 5 years. Running E-logs for last 5 years.

    My kids are grown , I'm not married and have my own truck
    This biz is all about what you want to do man ! ...sometimes I want to be home weekly and others I want to hit the road for 6 weeks .
    With things bein slow now i prefer to stay out and take my time taking advantage of good rates or camping out doin some haggleing .
