    Oh its boreing alright, but it'll do. My gross should be $1000 - $1100 every week could be more if i spent more time on the dock :smt078


    I donno if i'll every go OTR ever again, i miss it kinda. Only 2 ways seem attractive right now, #1 if i need money #2 if i buy my own truck/trailer and do it MY way.


    Sure is nice being home though, then again not much to make videos of here right now lol. And i'd get fired in 1 sec if i make a video at work

    Thats what I normally bring home but at 45-50 hours a week, but NY pay is different then where you are. Thats actually decent down south. And I agree I would never go OTR unless my gf got her cdl and came with me and we owned our own truck and trailer. But i dont plan on that ever plus Im happy where I am

    Wow this thread is riddled with a bunch of grumpy gary's who know everything there is to know about everything. Just...go away and let people who are considering line haul to not have to read your nonsensical crap.
