Yes I'm pretty much dedicated. I run the same area every week. They consider me shortline but yes same thing. If you can get on the furniture loads you will make a lot more money than .36 a mile.
Just figure this on average your gonna run Regional prob 2500 miles a week. That's 900 gross. But your probably not gonna get 2500 even being Regional. I hear most are 2000-2200. On average I put off 20 stops for a low end and 30 for a high end a week. So average 25 plus miles. I'm probably 2200 average. Most times I'm 2500-2600. Just using averages you are gonna be almost 1200 a week and prob home more and work less. Plus you will have regular hours. Furniture stores are mostly 8-5 businesses so that's pretty much your working hours. Plus you will get mileage raises here pretty quick.
You have to get mileage out of your head if you are gonna run stops. Worry about stops not miles. hope this helps. Let me know if you have anymore questions -

We get a lot of it down here in MS and they have a lot in NC as well. But there is a big Home Depot deal down there also. But a lot of that furniture comes in on containers as well. Good thing about Watkins also is if you are hauling furniture the loads you haul originate at the terminal. So no sitting in a dock with your clock running.
Yeah OTR isn't what I wanted either. Matter of fact I wanted local out the gate but I love what I do here and i will never find a local job for what I make here. -
