    @Mobious212 as @jtaran06 wrote it depends on the terminal, as a right now because is slow season you will get from 8 to 9 hours. Let me ask you what part of the country is Estes sending ya to do the program.

    So Estes like Saia rotates the high mileage units off of linehaul into P&D then, we got P&D guys rolling in 2005 Volvos and older Internationals, yeah I didn't think to get a picture, it was a nice newer truck, what I mainly see the road drivers in atleast out west here are the KWs that look like they have a longer frame than usual, the 2 axle 1st generation Cascadias, some Internationals ,and every so often the Volvos.

    I got up this morning headed back to El Paso. From there, I'm going to head back to Tucson. I'm running with 18 hours and 109 left into El Paso. If I can turn this, then tomorrow go BACK to El Paso, I'll have about 3800 miles for the week. I'm going to sit there and get back to it going east Tuesday morning. I finally got they ###

    I already have my CDL and hazmat but i have no experience. The recruiter said she wasent sure if i had to be sent to training or if i would be trained by a local driver. she said my terminal will decide what they want to do and how much training they want me to take. I applied for the Charlotte, NC terminal. If anyone knows some hard numbers id appreciate because i currently make 17 an hour with great benefits and am about to get a promotion where im gonna make 20 but i hate my boss with a passion.

    You will definitely make more than 20dls an hour, also if im not mistaken you probably spent couple weeks with a trainer it also depends on your level of skill.

    Also if you want to run linehaul on the weekends you can to make extra money.

    Overall you will make great money.

    Good luck
