One or Two years before moving on?

I got my CDL a year ago and made it a year with my starter company, a refer-only division of a mega.

Miles were pretty decent (though never great) up until a few months ago. During the summer I was doing 2500-3000 miles weekly.

Now However, In the last 2 months I've been getting consistently less than 2000 miles. The typical week is 1500-2000 miles. I'm not sure what it is, haven't done this long enough to know if its a seasonal slowdown or something else.

I pretty much never take a day off. I'm a loner type, no friends or family to be away from so the OTR life isnt too much of a personal sacrifice for me. This quarter, I worked 90 days straight and still failed to achieve the productivity bonus of 30,000 miles for the quarter. I averaged less than 300 miles/day during this period.

Been putting up with a lot of BS loads

--200 miles loads where I put in a 12-14 hour day and make less than $100.
--300 mile loads with 3-4 stops at the end that takes 2 days to complete.
--Make a delivery in the morning, then sit at a truck stop until the next day for the next load.

I'm willing to go anywhere all 48 states with no restrictions and stay out for long periods of time. I feel like I'm being under-utilized.

I've been talking to a few people, some suggest options open up more after the 2 year mark instead of just the 1 year mark.

There is so much BS and lies from recruiters of so many trucking companies, I'm not sure what to believe. I don't want to jump ship and end up in a similar or worse situation than I'm in now.

 

I've communicated my displeasure with my dispatcher. He's a great guy, but its a big company and I things are just out of his control with the bureaucracy.

 

I rent hotel rooms on my rare days off. I am a loner and no real connections to any particular place. I could go anywhere.

 

Thank you.

My cld is in AZ.

I will look into the companies you suggested
