I was in the hiring boom a few years ago. It took three months or four months to get HOU after IOE. I was in BWI for those months.

it was a different day, but I was able to drop quite a few reserve blocks in BWI and pick up trips or reserve in Houston. I think I only went to to BWI four or five times during that period. That will be a little harder to do now but still possible.

If you work the system hard, you can improve your quality of life significantly.
