| I don't want to own the truck, just drive. How shifty are the hours and about how many days away from home? |

First job, 2000 to 2600 miles a week most weeks, 28 to to 35 cents a mile for most entry level jobs. Most jobs won't get you home more than every other weekend. With the exception of hauling refer, most jobs will have you driving normal daytime hours.
A GOOD starting Job, like Maverick is 2500ish miles a week, 40 cents per mile (after a short probation) and home 45+ weekends a year. 34 to 48 hours most weekends. I was OTR for several years. It sucks. Now I have a dedicated regional route. I'm normally home 5 nights a week, though this summer we've been down 3 drivers, so I'm doing my job and that of a driver that quit. I hate it, but I'm paying 500 to a grand a week to kill debt. Summer is almost over though.
