been driving for 19 months and I have some questions :)

If you are enjoying what you are doing, and happy with the money you are making and not having issues, keep at it until you get two years under your belt.

If you are interested in trying something new (I'm assuming you run vans?) like flat deck or liquid/dry bulk, etc, then get that experience and start looking for a company with your ideal equipment, freight and lanes. Companies like a minimum of two years experience, and LOVE to see someone committed to one company. It shows loyalty, which is hard to find these days.

You'll have your pick of the pack when it comes time to look, and that's a very positive thing for your future.

2700 miles a week, consistently at 41.15 cpm isn't great pay, but a lower rate on consistent miles is better than a higher rate on inconsistent miles (i.e. you move to a company that pays 46 cpm, but you get only 1500-2000 miles a week, you'll end up making $200-400 less a week).

You have to find the balance point between the amount of work you are comfortable doing, and the rate of pay you want to make. Work/life balance is essential.

 

Stay with the Pirate. I know a couple of drivers there and some of the office people and they speak highly of the place.
For left coast work with the hometime you're getting and the low insurance costs you're doing quite well. Check with other companies and see what their drivers are paying for insurance...it's ugly.
A & M has been around a long time, has a dependable customer base, and
generally treats their people decently.
You could do a whole lot worse.

 

As mentoned pay more in midwest. Load boards are highest in mid west. Chicago is just plain hot. Just came from a good company who focuses on that market. They can get you home. But ain't gonna be like you have. Magnum LTD.
I just left only for Oil Field, $100K/yr, and 4 days on, two off schedule. Live 2 hours from the terminal.
