    I'm not exactly local, but not exactly regional either. I'm what my company calls Shortline. I'm usually home 3-5 nights a week. I gross 1000-1400 a week.

    HA ~!!! still lmao. . . . wife says that to me when she's calling me on the road. Y'all's speak etc... is quite similar~! She can speak Spanish, no Italian. Go figure. Maybe she's been pulling my leg?
    Matters not, LoL.
    Mucho Respecto. I'm sure I didn't say that right, but you get the point.

    I did $74K last year this year could be more, once school starts up, my case count goes up and I've been busy plus doing other tours out of other warehouses pays more as well.

    There's good money in that; so I hear.....trying to raise up 'Mikey~ he likes it!' It's just not for us "over 50" group. I'd rather learn to do what the skateboarders do and get paid for tarping 'correctly' instead of the live loads and unloads.

    If I were 20, 30, heck even 40!! perhaps. I've found my niche, and here I lie. My asphalt, my tanking. Until winter, when I tend to read over @cnsper and @Hurst and @TripleSix and @Dye Guardian and @Zeviander 's post, etc etc etc all these young guy's threads, trying to figure out how to move my stuff legally.

    I was never trained, @Lepton1 .... just thrown to the wolves. 20 years experience does NOT a flatbed driver, one make. I still learn, every winter. It's the salt in my snow, I guess. Good money, white knuckles.
     
    Danch, Hurst, Zeviander and 1 other person Thank this.
