    It is. But any where in vt, nh. Or me will work. I have family all up in them hills. As we say.
    So how it breaks down is. The wife wants me home more. But she's supporting that I love otr. So the only way to be home more is to get a truck.
    I make really good money for us. As a company driver. But if she don't start seeing me more. That's gonna be that.
    ( job wise).

    The good thing is u will be able to choose where ya wanna run , the bad part is u responsible for all the bills and payments. And got to run to pay for truck and trailer... im sure u could work a little east coast gig out if u willing to take the jump.

    Yeah and my personal house hold bills are really cheap. I think she told me the home mortgage and her medical
    Are the two most expensive. But still Under 1100 combined.

    Thats not bad at all. Landstar is a great place to get some skin in the game and get ur feet wet and learn the business . Not to mention they got freight just about everywhere...

    1050 on 257mi
    1550 on 417
    1216 on 374 (2 loads, both trucks) 4,600LBS
    800 on 240 1500LBS.

    Last 5 loads have been up that way. Came back empty everytime. Pff 400-500 coming back. There's a sucker every min getting "fuel money" on those.

    Don't knock TQL, seriously. In the very beginning they cancelled 2x on us. Other than that smooth to deal with. We avoided them like the plague from reading all negative on here bout em. Almost exact opposite experience in my book. Was more than happy with their rates and didn't have to play Monty Hall with em.




    Yeah, RUTHLESS.

    LOL

    I know on all miles for the round it's nothing to brag about but those 500 loads aren't going on the truck for 250+mi. No way. Time + stress = $$$ not worth it for measly bs.

    He put up an ad an hour or two ago looking for guys with trailer interchange for local work. I don’t know what he pays either, it’s really not my game.
