    No, they fly you out (paid travel, but unpaid time) to a truck that you run OTR for 3 weeks, then they fly you home (paid travel, unpaid time) where you sit for a week. Rinse and repeat. For $60k/year, so they say. Not a bad gig if that's something you'd be happy with.

    $60k for any driving job is terrible, but especially for OTR.

    I enjoy flying. But not the TSA now that they have official immunity from inappropriate abuse by groping.

    If they really want to pay for flying there is a relatively decent field with ILS and level 2 approach a few miles distant. A King Air charter will get me anywhere in the USA soon enough at any time or a time shared very light jet which would be pretty cheap compared to a commercial and the losses in time getting in and out of major airports.

    If a company is really engaged in that kind of work and has need of a plane they should have time shared a light jet on all three coasts already ready to go 24/7.

    prolly fly you out via the landing gear hold, then fly you back inside a casket with a dead body.

    Not really when you consider you're only working 3 weeks per month.
