    How are they with home time is it just a 34 at home or are you really home from Friday to Monday like the recruiter says?

    Just depends . Last weekend I got in at 6 pm on Fri and didn't leave out till 6 am Mon. The weeekend before that I was home only 36 hours but that was because I decided to leave out on Sunday until of at 3am Monday. They've been good about paying detention so far. Got to stay in a nice hotel last night. They let me pick and said it didn't matter. Truck is going to be in shop for at least a week and a half . Fuel pump failed and had metal shavings in it. They got me a ride to get back to Jacksonville terminal and putting me in a new truck.

    Got a newer truck yesterday. This one only has 140'000 on it. Maybe this one can last longer than a month. Got back to Savannah last night. Waiting for Freightliner to open so I can get the rest of my belongings out of my old truck. BreakDown Weeks Suck- but I'm still in the 2100 mile guarantee pay.

    Yes, I just switched to Midwest this past week. I moved. I have done really good with them so far. Last week I had right at 2700 Miles. This week was about 2100 but I switched boards and he got me home Thursday Day.

    If you can get Andy out of Atlanta terminal, he is very good and will keep you busy. I have Andy now out of Iowa, we will see how this goes. Hoping for the best.

    Some where around that. Also depends on how many years exprience you have. I had 10yrs I ran southeast regional and started at 45. You get a extra cent per mile if you have hazmat. I know just running Florida and Georgia paid less.
