    I'm wondering where the best miles are?
    I live in the north east and if I had the choice of regional or OTR. what would be the better route to take?
    I will consider moveing to get to a better location


    I want to make bank but want (some) home time.
    don't want to be in the middle of nowhere sitting for a load for days.:biggrin_25513:
    does any one work this region?

    It's well known that you can make better miles out west. There's no stops every few miles and you can go forever until you hit a big city. But I guess if you want some home time then you'll need to go OTR and get home once in awhile. However, you'll know how many miles you'll get on a dedicated run but you can figure the best dedicated runs are assigned to the senior drivers so you'll have to wait your turn.

    My advice is take what will help you the best later on. If you want to run box OTR then you'll be limited to boxes. If you switch it up once in awhile you become more employable.
