There are some plants in the boonies but not a big deal. I am on regional and average length of haul is around 350 -425 total miles. Dont get detention pay get a layover at $100 if you sit for 18 hrs or don't move 200 miles in 18 hrs. Have to deliver to some military bases that require us to tailgate the product but not often. Mainly fuel at loves, pilot/flying j but do have other fuel stops as well. Have heard otr is on fuel solutions but not sure as they started that after i went regional. You pay lumpers with comcheck. Otr gets $35 for 2nd p/u or 2nd drop there out on the load. Dont get paid for the first. Regional doesnt get extra for the first pickup of which we usually have only 1 pick, but we get paid $35 for each drop including the first unless it is a relay and thats the same wether its drop and hook or live unload. A lot of what we do is pick up at a pl plant and live unload at a customer. Do a lot of night driving with middle of the night early morning unloads

What does regional drivers average weekly as far as pay? I’m thinking of going with this company or Millis, but Millis doesn’t have an orientation until the 25th and I need to start work ASAP.

Depends on experience, dispatcher, and area I net 1000+ a week

Man I really hope I can do the same. I’m in Atlanta and I was making $18/hr all straight pay no OT with a staffing agency and I just need more money. I’m trying to get a house and it’s just not cutting it. I’ve been looking for good paying regional jobs that I can net over $1000 with or at least close since most LTLs are not hiring at this time. Tyson seems like the best bet, so I’m going for them. What is the orientation pay? And how long would I have to be in training before receiving my own truck?
