    I’m looking to switch companies as the one I’m currently with has fallen drastically off the cliff and the pay is well below industry avg. I have reviewed and spoke with dozens of companies. No one seems to run a true 48 OTR program.
    I know there has to be some out there that give drivers more than 500 mile runs every day.
    Any suggestions would be very appreciated.
    I’m out of the Detroit Metro area for a reference point.

    I went to all the lower 48 states when I drove for Covenant Transport for five years.

    I don't know for a fact but I suspect most of your major carriers run OTR 48 states. Have you looked into J.B. or Schneider. Not specifically recommending them just sayin...
