A little help please! I have the itch to go OTR from local.

If you want a good paying local, look into
10 Roads Express. They mainly run US Mail and have relay points where you switch trailers. Some driver make the actual postal pickups and deliveries. They also have Fly in Drivers. They fly you to where they need help and pay per diem, hotel costs and more. They pay pretty well and for ALL of your time as it’s hourly with bonuses. Made good money with my time there, was my favorite company job.

 

I want to thank everyone for taking the time to reply and give excellent feedback. I'm currently looking at United Rangers Trucking, TMC, Walmart, and possibly 10 Roads Express. I forgot how much of a pain in the butt it is to fill out so many job applications lol.

 

If you're in DFW take a look at Climate Express....they have the running lanes you'd like and hella Dallas freight.

 

Best of luck! ✌️

 

I am at Fremont, and often enough I run alternating weeks of nearly 4k, and 3k miles. I also try to get myself into a position where I HAVE to restart. The only real limitations here come from the customers. Before the market took a dump, I used to pretty reliably run between 41 and 42k one week, then 3200ish the next. Just bouncing back and forth from Omaha area to CA, WA, or Oregon. Occasionally would run from CA to NJ. The west coast freight has REALLY fallen off, but my mileage hasn't changed all that much. I just have to work a bit harder to make it happen.
