    Out 5 to 6 weeks at a time, unless I've got something going on at the house. This gives me time to run a student completely through training without interruption and then I take about a week off as needed.

    I wont be rude and ask how much you actually make on that schedule but may I ask if you make decent money running what seems like a light schedule. Id love to do exactly that and be profitable

    It all depends on the areas you run. If I run local I'm home every night. Gross btw 3-4 for the week. If I am out on the road I try to keep it under 3 weeks and that gives me btw 5-6500 per week. You gotta run where the work is. Most of the time local pays more, however, when good road work comes up you need to be ready to jump on it.
