    With a little over a year of experience in driving for a moving company making $17 a hour worth it? Physical labor/ moving heavy furniture plus driving. I'm local. Seems like doing something physically demanding and having a cdl would pay more, maybe way more so then just bumping docks locally? Anyone's thoughts

    I did that for a long long time....
    Never made any good money delivering furniture.

    Rent a shop and sell mattresses.
    You'll make more.

    I've made the majority of my money sitting on my butt in my life.
    If I have to stand up I better ###### well be having fun!

    Holland has a terminal around there somewhere; check that company.
    Brenntag if you have hazmat endorsement. I've delivered to Brenntag chemical plants in the Carolinas.
    "The Waggoners Trucking" is running ads for $1300.00 weekly take home for hauling sprinter vans on a flatbed.

    Everyone is going to say that's not enough money. I'd be careful about getting pissed off and just quitting. Start looking around, but it's going to be slow until next spring. You may find its not too bad for the times right now.

    Out of Raleigh u could do better than 17 an hour. Moving companies in my small town pay 15/hr for drivers and there's not many other driving jobs. Either them or trash service lol
