    Looking for info on regional linehaul in springfield mo. How many miles a week? Do you get paid for drop and hook? And wait time, breakdown? Is it possible to make 90 to 95 k a year?

    It's a small Terminal. I don't run out of there but I've been there. You should get on here period. That's all I'll say. You don't need to run a million miles to make good money here.

    Any LTL Linehaul gig it’s possible. Any .60 + cpm gig it’s possible. Only thing is out there terminals are not as far apart so that might hinder some of your earnings. But I think Estes runs everywhere 5 days a week.

    I asked a guy that works there, his answers to your questions are as follows:

    1) 2500-3000

    2) Yes for breaking and hooking sets

    3) Yes/ not waiting time though

    4) Yes

    Starting out at .5725 (was .565) you'll clear 1K EASILY. 2500 miles is $1400+. You'll hit the jackpot when you cross 3K miles. I've done it twice and brung in almost $2000 for the week. Insane money dude. Keep in mind I'm single with no children. I don't have a high output of bills because I own my house. $600 a week is what I need to get by and be ok so all that money is going to sit in the bank. Even when I'm lazy and run about $1800 miles it's $1000 and some change gross $800 something take home. Very laid back and they don't micromanaging. Beat company ever.

    I think the most important question to ask would be whether they are even hiring right now. Might have to wait until spring.

    Thanks for the input. I think I'm going to do it. Just nervous about how many miles I'll get. I have a pretty good job now but I have to drive 130 miles to get there.

    . That's very true! Estes pays very good and the insurance benefits are excellent as well. They treat drivers really good.
