Fact: 2019 will have been a very bad year already. Could I be better off as a company driver or not?

    Yea we have a bit of DH also. 50 mi from the house to get the load, about 70 to get our return load and dh 130 back home (most of the time picking up our outbound) and then parking it.

    Outbound pays 1075 on 340mi, 375 cheaper than it was during the boom. The load we grab in maine pays 850 on 326mi. Just loaded miles were doing good but roughly 250 dh miles (50+70+130 back home) eats into it

    I’ll throw out a dumb bone here.

    Get an email that stands out. I’ve got one that is slap funny, and you’d be surprised what an ice breaker it can be, and how agents remember it.

    Of course you have to back it up with solid service.
