    That's considerate but are you still making descent money being home 2-3 night per week?

    I'm still hoping I can get on w/ Pasadena after the first of the year and get a descent running schedule.

    I am at 68k so far. I went solo Jan 24 and took 3 different vacations (unpaid), each about 5 days. I'm thinking more like 74-75k. I'll keep you updated.

    Yes. I'm averaging approx $1600 a week. I took 3 separate 5-day unpaid vacations and didn't go solo until Jan 24. So really it's more like $1600 average (68k/43 weeks). I made $20 an hour the first 3 weeks of Jan in training so I'm including those in my weeks worked but I took out vacation days.

    Overall I'm pretty happy with my pay. I grossed over 2k a few times, and my take home pay always has a comma in it (excluding the rare weeks I'm local or off).

    This 'kind of' proves a point a bunch of drivers have told me the past year and a half. I've 'heard' we have lost alot of drivers due to not being home much, and most want to be home every weekend, or weekly. Makes sense why I'm running into more and more guys/gals, out of other terminals that are telling me they run a load, and tank wash back home, or tank wash, and get a load going back home now a days.
     
    patsy Thanks this.

    I'm hoping that's mostly the case with the terminal I'm trying to get on at. The biggest appeal to me that I've seen in my research is how well Superior does with getting you home.

    I've never had a single issue with getting home. However, sometimes they get me home 2 days early. That can kind of stink! lol What terminal you looking at?

    I've been talking to St. Gabriel since before I started school in Sept. They want to start me, but it looks like the slowdown has finally hit the bayou. A week and a half ago I was told 2-3 weeks, but when I called to check in yesterday, I was told it'll be end of the year or very beginning of Jan due to the training taking longer than usual.
