    Great first impression of FCC! They gave me rockstar treatment. One other in my class. He is doing local from OF to Lincoln. Really enjoyed it here in the Heartland!

    It happens on the SW fleet too. Pre planned most of the time. Still averaging about 2800 miles a week and home once a week for a reset.

    Yeah, I am gonna be on the SE fleet to start with, but I am already thinking about going national. They have already told me that I cannot get home weekly and make 2500 miles. If I go home every other weekend, that I should average that. I left a job where I was averaging 75.cpm (Perdue pays 53.4.com PLUS 12.50 for non driving time up to 14 hours MINUS your driving hours) and getting home at least twice a week but all the night running or should I say the lack of sleep during the day hours to keep running nights, was killing me!
     
    MidWest_MacDaddy Thanks this.

    Been home since Wednesday, got my reload info on Friday. Going back down to Sumter to pick up a preloaded trailer Monday morning going back to Broken Bow, Nebraska for as soon as I can legally get it there.

    Headed to Panthers game today with the wife, she’s a huge Panthers fan. So a little tailgating and football today and then back to the grind tomorrow until Thanksgiving.

    You'll end up getting more miles than you think. Once you g figure out your running area and customers. I have plenty of weeks where I will get 3000+ miles. They will run you right up to your 70. All in all the people in the office will work with you and keep you as busy as you want to be. Good luck.
