    Us express has a meijer account as well but they're telling me i could be home every day with that one vs ntb is a 5day out 2 day home kinda thing. Was told you work more hours on the home daily account vs the long haul ones or something along those lines?

    How hard you work at a home daily company is based on the company not the fact that your home daily....

    GFS is Springfield,Ohio is I'm sure hiring for chain drivers, you'll work there, but make a decent buck.

    So there's no 11hr drive time with a mandatory 10hr break for long haul and 14hr drive time with a 10hr break for home daily routes? Our instructor tried to explain something like that to us at class 1 day.

    NTB runs a lot of Michigan and Indiana. I used to deliver to a grocery warehouse in Detroit and the NTB drivers that seemed to be there as often as I was were all pretty happy. It seems a lot of their equipment is older not sure if that matters to you.

    Those are maximum on with minimum off times. I work 8 to 10 a day locally. Mike does 10 to 12 locally. Otr, you drive as much as you can, and that is dictated by your del time, available hrs of service, and what you have driven in the last 7 days...

    Ahhh I see. That makes sense. I'll more then likely go with NTB then unless i hear some good reviews about US Xpress here from some drivers.
