    He's given me many leads locally. Unfortunately, they're all not hiring right now.

    No fee. And it’s a manual with no nanny truck BS.

    You would think that. The R. E. West career path leads to heavy haul. Schneider has a tanker div.

    I find that hard to believe.
    Taking that much time off per month, especially every two weeks, leaves little time to average 2650 miles per week.

    I know I don't know jack-squat yet, but 11 days driving every two weeks, 5300 miles in those 11 days, equals 481 miles per day. That seems doable to me as a noob with a calculator.

    What am I missing?

    Can get bogged down with short runs.
    Deliver taking most of the day, then dispatched 50 miles for your next load that picks up the next morning, then that load delivers 300 miles away the day after tomorrow.
    I'd look for a reefer outfit that has long runs.
    I read that Flat Creek is dry van, but runs lots of Interstate 10 as far as California.
