    4 weeks out/4 days home? I'm usually road burned by night 4 and it's back to the house in my own bed.

    ODFL just got another 2.6 cpm raise.
    Top solo pay is .73cpm

    That’ll be a good challenge for a while.

    I did dryvan for six years. Then got a job drving a conestoga 20 months ago, that is a flatbed without having to tarp and there are a lot of them around where you live at. Turned out to be the best job I had in all my life. I get a physical workout chaining down steel and aluminum, but rarely have to get wet from the rain.

    The money is great, a lot of us conestoga drivers gett percentage pay and I average two thousand a week, even had one week that was just a few dollars short of four thousand.
