    Which gets more miles between glass and flat?

    If I wanted to stay OTR 3 months and not go home with glass, is that possible?

    Also, if Mav offers me employment, how long do I have to accept it?

    Maverick generally has a six week cap. But anything is possible, you'd have to take it up with your fleet manager.

    That's between you and your recruiter, and your situation. If you have experience you generally can wait up to a month to report for orientation, that's what I did.

    Your miles will be random.

    You cannot say this will do more miles than that miles.

    Trucking is not just accumulating miles. You need to take a few weeks and build your savings so you can maintain fitness and health during weeks of no miles or very small mileage.

    Thats why I'm asking, To make sure there isn't a clear distinction in miles between the two divisions.

    I appreciate your answer and concern X1.

    He's essentially correct, in this industry nothing is taken for granted. I personally average about 2200/wk, and had for the lest two months. However my last two weeks have been abysmal only getting 1200 and 1400. The average is always there regardless of how long I actually stay out.

    You can stay out as long as you want with glass and we have some drivers that do. Miles well it depends because I have a friend that is USA Flat and his miles are about the same as mine and I"m OTR glass.
