Beware of companies that "guarantee" you any type of mileage unless its in writing and they will pay the miles that you are short to bring it up to the mileage guarantee. My bulls**t meter would instantly redline if a company guaranteed me 3000 miles a week.

I would to if they did 3k but here they only garuntee 2500, so I'm guessing it's goinna be closer to that but I can deal with that

That bites, but beating the bushes, putting in words, face-to-faces, anything to keep it rolling.
Poo on the naysayers.

Bro, when you get down to where the rubber meets the road all truck companies are "basically" the same. All the recruiters pump sunshine up your #%@ because that is their job. Company A pays more per mile, Company B gets you more miles, company C gets you home more and has better benefits. The way I see it, you are the key to your success. If you have some hustle, give it your best, go into it with a positive attitude, stay on the road instead of hanging at the truckstops chasing lot lizards and drive safe you will succeed
