    Linehaul is where the money is at. Assuming they add hourly rates for hooking sets, waiting, fueling, ect. I was making close to $65k when I switched to days. There really is nothing to linehauls aside from hooking and making sure your trailers are in the right order. Maybe one day I will go back, I just enjoy my nights off. My carrier does not offer day routes. I am glad my thread helped at least one person in getting some useful info. And yeah, location is everything.
