how bad are you upside down on the house? Would selling it for a small loss be worth it to get out, and be able to relocate to a better job market?

I'd take a $80,000 to $100,000 loss if I sold right now.

Neither one of those jobs are going to match my salary.

umm... not initially, but would probably exceed it greatly with a bit of time. Our top driver last year made 132K. He never graduated HS. He sleeps in his own bed every day

AT night I hate going to bed because I know I have to get up and come into this job in the morning. When I wake up in the morning all I want to do is call out. When I get here I have to constantly remind myself to keep it together and not to lose my shit so I don't get fired. Man, this really sucks.

That sucks. Seriously go get your CDL. If our business ever goes under, I could have a job in a heartbeat. You don't even have to do long haul to make good money

my friend is a highschool drop out, and he makes bank driving a truck. and he is alwys posting cool pictures of america on FB. its like hes getting paid to take a vacation.

I have two good friends that drive trucks. 1 of them doesn't make anything and the other is an OTR driver who makes the same money I do and never gets to see the place he lives in.

Commercials on Sirius make is sound like a dream job...

I want to rock and roll all night, and part of every day.

My one driver gets paid commission on the cartage, so if I charge a customer $143,he gets 20% of it ($28.60). That drive will take him 45 mins to an hour from pick up to delivery.
The other gets paid hourly $18/hr.

I will never see 132K woot: I am giving up

Yeah, how the hell do you make 132k driving a truck?
Is he smuggling people across boarders?

You work a lot. I can see if you are an hourly employee and then roll over into OT and double time. FedEx needs shit moved, I can see where they may need extra drivers and it happening.

That's insane.
If he's not working close to 80 hours a week, FedEx is dumb.
