So is it still good for you FND guys?
I'm otr, stay out about 2-3 months at a time and the miles aren't happening. I take hometime occasionally because why not sit at home instead of sitting for 2 days in a truckstop in NY where it's 5 degrees and IL have to idle half of the time?
I am pretty sure that I'd make more money doing flatbed going home every weekend so I'm thinking about switching to flatbed or going to Wylie.
For instance I drove a few days before New Year's until the beginning of February then took a week off at home. When I stopped driving after 6 weeks straight out I was averaging about 390 miles per day accordingly and the driver portal. After a week at home I'm down to 305 and that's driving 6 of 7 weeks this entire year. 390 a day means that I'm around 1900 miles per week staying out every day of every week because the weekends don't count it's just M-F. A flatbed driver going home every weekend would have already spent 12-14 days at home likely averaging 420+ mpd. I've been home for 1 week and average 305. Not impressed at all.
305 mpd is about 1500 miles per week.

Still good on FND. Had a few slow weeks but it's picked back up. There will be an opening on fnd soon if not already.

Greetings "Plentygood"
It sounds like change will be good for you? I hope it all works out for you. As a newbie to the industry is the rest of the company ok to work for and do they treat you well? -
Plenty good is still kicking it in glass! He got his million mile reward last year.
But he isn't very pretty.
