    I average 11k miles per month with Leonard's Express and I average 6 days home per month. I would average around 12k miles per month if I was only home 4 days per month. But I prefer and value the more days home over the extra miles.

    The primary purpose of this thread is to show that Leonard's Express can and does provide true long haul OTR to some of their drivers. Which is what I prefer and had a hard time finding in this industry living down here in Central Florida.

    I see the miles, a lot of them, but I don't see the money. Where is it?

    For me, 11k per month average @ .58cpm. Good enough for me.

    Well of course not. That requires too much effort. It’s far easier to run your mouth while sitting at your keyboard.

    In all fairness, I should probably have started a new thread when I came back aboard as a company driver.
