    Been thinking about it for a while and I am about ready to sell/get rid of my stuff, and get out of this expensive house I'm renting...I'm considering going to a company paid school where they will house and feed you and then drive for them...I don't have a wife and I don't have kids...I'll do months at a time OTR...Making money and paying off my bills is my priority....What company would be good to sign up with and that will pay me fair for all the miles I would be driving....thanks, BT

    Same old tired information here:
    Can you pass a drug test, because all companies are required to give one.
    Some give hair follicle drug test, so you need to be clean 12 mos.
    Some give urine drug test, so you need to be clean 90 days.
    Do you have a preference?

    Shouldn't have any problem making that amount of money. I only listed companies that run coast to coast since you said you want to run hard, pay off bills and save money.
    Probably make the most with Jim Palmer, followed by Prime, then CFI and Stevens.
    Don't lease a truck from any company; be a company driver. Lease drivers have to pay all the truck expenses such as fuel and tires, etc.
