Hey stranger!
 Still teaming with Hogan? I was at the Glister website but I didn't see anything about driving jobs. All of their listed locations are far from where I live.

Thanks! 300-400 milles a day is pretty low for OTR (unless you are making like 50cpm+). I've hauled A LOT of those big finished rolls in the past. Those aren't too bad. Usually, I got unloaded a pretty timely manner with those. The scrap paper kind of sucks (unless you could just use a leaf blower to clean the trailer). LOL I had one place (in or near Cincinnati) loading me to 86,000! I was like...I DON'T THINK SO!
A typical run for them is Cleveland, OH to Maysville, KY or Indy to Chicago, or St. Louis to Maysville, KY Maysville is a paper plant. You will see Maysville, Streetsborro, Indy, St. Louis and a tiny hole off US41 just south of I-74 the most. they have steady freight tho and are super easy to deal with.

I'm making good money driving here. My average since I started is a bit over 2,400 miles per week (that includes the short weeks for my time off). When I'm out, I'm running. I very rarely sit waiting on a load. Also, you can't forget about their vacation package: every 30,000 miles dispatched and you get a paid week off ($300 w/o hazmat, $600 with). I'll have my 3rd weeks vacation before I head home for Christmas. I started April 1st. On top of that, there's a $0.01cpm safety bonus. I'll be looking at around $1,200 for that. Also, the length of haul is outstanding. My average is around 750 miles per load. I've had plenty of loads 1,250+ miles. Beats the hell out of the 400-500 mile average hauls I had when I was at USXpress. Nothing like an unload/reload every single day.
