    I wonder why that particular run was open.
    1800ish miles per week @ .50 is $900

    Idk what your pay rate is, but if it takes all week to earn that....

    Being new I doubt you'll get .50cpm either.
    Did you ask what happened to the last guy... or better yet, talk to him?

    I would probably imagine running those narrow back wood roads late at night and wee hours of the morning in OH, KY,WV and those tight places in PA as well may have been a reason the last guy quit

    .46 mile isn t bad at all to start with no OTR experience. Plus you get paid stop pay, and no touch freight too

    See, now that would attract me to the job. Any idiot with half a brain and zero skills can get out there on the big road, set the cruise, and hold it between the lines. While I do prefer driving during the day, I'd take a night time run on a hilly curvy narrow little fun road over a daytime run on the interstate.

    I made $200 a day with jb hunt on their dedicated side.
    $1200-$1500 every week.
    I like running the south west where it's warm..took a pay cut..and never looked back.
