I’m more of a lurker and reader. Just another internet nobody...
But are you dead set on over the road? The reason I ask. Is the kind of money you said you’d been happy with might be more inline with a job driving a dump truck for a municipality, county or even state maintenance position. Like highway,road, street repair, etc.. or maybe a rock quarry?
I don’t know.. just a random thought from a random guy.FlaSwampRat Thanks this. -

I didnt read the whole thread, but someone recently posted "Im not to serve the log book, the log book is here for me".
Remember that. If you end up driving, you learn how to manipulate even an eld and how much time things take, which is always longer in a truck.FlaSwampRat Thanks this. -
Wow.... I've rolled 500 in under 8 on lots of days... I'm 99% of the time on the drive line or off duty wtf would waste on duty time with the silly stuff the OP started this with. I love to drive at 12 am to 6 or so take a 3 he nap off duty or sleeper berth don't care what one then after morning commute rush hour roll out the rest of my drive time feeling great. I'm good for a solid 650-700 depending on region and load weight per day

some days I pull over to nap, play games or what ever but only when I have the extra time and can not deliver early (%*%]^ Walmart, paper mills, steel mills, rubber company’s out East)
Learn to run, learn to take up ground, keep the door closed and suddenly you’ll find yourself with all the time in the world. Then one day you’ll take a wrong turn after working hard for extra time only to take a 4 hour 150 mile detour eating up all that time.
Sometimes you get the day, sometimes the day gets you.kemosabi49, MYSTYKRACER, HillbillyDeluxeTruck and 1 other person Thank this. -
