This isn't the soviet union. Moving for better opportunities is always a valid option.
Besides even down here in this hell hole 70 is pretty much standard pay for a company driver. I know this cause I'm constantly being harrassed by a few local companies to come work for them.

Some people go into business strictly for the money. Nothing wrong with that.
But others go into business for a little more freedom to do what they want. When they want. The way they want. Or maybe get the chance to have their dream. Or to live a certain lifestyle. And some will take a few less dollars to do that. Are they wrong? -
LTL is hard, often you don't even have benefits for the 1st year until you have enough seniority to move off the casual board. Even then the isn't "easy". I have friends who make 80k a year running LTL, but they still don't have weekends off even with 7+ years of senority. And as for Florida being a blackhole for trucking, it's doesn't compare to low population regions like Montana or West Kansas. Freight is always heading into Florida, just not much coming back out. My cousin would love an LTL or Foodservice job, but he would need to commute 130 miles each way to work-Sometimes its not worth moving if you enjoy being around your extended family.
Lonesome Thanks this. -
BOWLING GREEN KY is a freight deadzone for outgoing. Nothing ever goes out but everything comes in. JUST FYI your not the only bad freight location -
Bowling green outbound?
I would try to hook up on taking those vettes from the factory. Really though you are 120 miles from Louisville and like 65 from Nashville. Plenty of decent freightCJndaTruck, RERM, Lonesome and 1 other person Thank this. -
Bowling Green is a very short hop from amazing freight. You are under 200 miles from 4 industrial hubs. Nashville, Cincinnati, louisville, and Lexington.
And who said anything about on a moments notice? Make a plan. Save for the plan. Implement the plan.
It boils down to the will to succeed vs the will to make excuses. -
It isn't really about whats right and whats wrong. You can have all those things you listed AND more money. I myself, I'm not setting the world on fire with income. I'm making top driver wages, but only working half the year to do it. When i was younger I worked much harder so that now I can take it out of over drive and just cruise along. -
