OK, I gotta ask. You say your runs are usually 4-500 mi, then say you live in Fl. and run the N.E. or out west. From Fl.-N.E. is more than 500 mi and from N.E. to "out west" is way more than 500 mi.
Hitman Thanks this. -
To answer your question. Yes I am cool with it. I have a similar situation as you. I live in TX and primarily see IN,IL,MI,OH,PA and NJ. This guarantees me miles coming and going from home so that works for me. Plus being born and raised in South Jersey allows me to get home to family far more than I ever did before

xlsdraw and DrtyDiesel Thank this.

everyones needs are different so you need to find a company that will fit yours
i have family all over so as hard as they try to keep me away i get somewhere to see them most places -

My last trip out was 21 days and my longest run was 800 miles. I am Supposed to be OTR but I do not get the benefit of the long runs typically associated with OTR.

My runs are all 100-600 miles and I get home every week I make 0.38 a mile with 6 months exp this works for me... But I average 1.75 trips a day, of course this is majority drop and hook, with the occasional live unload, but never live load.
I don't think I would be willing to deal with being on short runs.without getting that 34 hour restart every weekend, of course I work for a big soulless company, but I am newer so I don't mind.xlsdraw Thanks this. -
I dont know where your company is based out of but the Florida market is tough for any carrier. IF they arent based in FL and do only regional and thats what you want, i would look elsewhere. There are quite a few companies down in florida that run just the southeast, or at least get you back to florida on a weekly basis...
xlsdraw Thanks this.
