LTL stands for less than truckload. It means that you will have multiple pickups for each load you haul. LTL can be local or it can be OTR.

I like your approach.

But to clarify:

1)30-35 isn't bad----providing you can get the miles. (also see #4 below)

2)Orientation don't last that long, kiddo. Do you mean paid training?

3)Are you saying you want to drive Hazmat tankers, or are you saying you have these endorsments?

4)Why just 2000-2500? You can and should do at least 2800-2900ish, really 3000 per week.

5) Two days per week or month?
