My time at Averitt

OTR DEF is not for everyone. You were a 'local guy' starting out....what feels 'right' for you is what is best for you! Good luck in your new future.

 

haha....I believe Averitt you are home weekly. But, like I said to each their own. I enjoy being out for 2 weeks, used to be home every week...lately, I've been getting home every few days and still make more than what I make at general freight.....but wife is happy, since I'm rolling in the money and getting things taken care of for her and kids. Plus, we are almost debt free after 10 long hard years of that crap!

 

tanker is what I pull. Money is def better than any kind of dry box. Aother reason why I'm staying out longer than what I used to(IF I can..lately I've been getting home for a quick restart) is I'm actually seeing alot more of the country rather than just the East Coast. Been to CA a few times. Usually if I go across country I'm out for around 2 to 2 and a half weeks. It's really hard, the first time you go across country. BUT, after that 'first time' it's great. Trying to go to the Northwest. However, this has been a really weird year for us. Not going out west as much as we use to. Heard maybe next year or year after those runs will start picking up again, for the terminal I'm out of.

 

it really is cool! Sure, I actually went crazy the first time I was in the desert....was literally like, get me out of here, NOTHING HERE! But, after that first time, I love the desert more than the mountains on the east coast! haha

 

Hey yankatank what are you doing now that you are not in general freight

 

Never mind I read another one of your post where you said tanker
