    Yeah everyone is different, i would figure between $800 and $1000 depending on if you decide to add spouse insurance. My check with spouse added will be $876. Plus i been hitting bonuses the last few months. So there's that!

    They all are pretty easy going here as long as you are too. Dave (head of maintenance) gets a little loud lol..but other than that just take a lot of notes they kinda pump a lot of information at you in just a few days.

    In my last post I was thinking that my July month for miles was going to crap. Fortunately it came out better than i thought. When I got to Colorado delivery early and did a 34 reset, that set me up for a nice long run out of Platteville CO to Massachusetts.

    That put my miles up to 13400 for the month. That was pretty good and the 31 days in the month helped make that work out. 14000 is my new target now will see if i can find a way to accomplish that goal. Lol

    Currently im in Minooka IL. They put me on a load out of Mass to here after making 2 drops in Chicago this morning and now waiting to do the 3rd and final drop here. Also have my next reload picking up in Streamwood IL to Las Vegas. That's my going home load DH home from Vegas.
    All good! Trucking on!

    I'm considering applying. I have over 19 years of otr experience. My biggest hold up is I absolutely hate driving overnight. I also hate loading and unloading at those super late/super early hours.
