Message:: [QUOTE="clownrebel, post: 10488612, member: 293531"]I averaged between 3000-3600 with Averitt. I'm on the same track with Blackhawk but with a little more freedom over my truck. I've been really happy the switch even though I liked Averitt. I know people who hustle and get more miles. You set the ETA, so you decide how you drive. It is an easy job if you can just give the customer what they want. They want all of your pods called in for pickup and delivery with reasonable accuracy. They are a good customer, but they like it done a certain way. It may be a little more work, but it's a an easy job with excellent miles and worth it.  In the winter it slows down to maybe 2800 or so averaged for 2-3 months. Last year I had one week that was 2400 miles in the winter and a couple 2800 but most were 3k or more. Mountains aren't too bad. The loads are usually pretty light. The 16ft pods are only rated for 10k pounds. The trailers are 48ft tandem axles. It seems like a steady job. We slowed down a little during Corona but nothing crazy. Back on full swing now. Blackhawk is offering a 5k sign on bonus during leak season (now). I'm not sure if Averitt is hiring outside outside the company.  Last year, they offered a 2k bonus.[/QUOTE]
