    Much obliged! I do plan on living in the truck for the most part, I figure if I need a couple days off every few weeks, it would be cheaper for me to just get a hotel instead of deadheading home and wasting fuel. I will be posting weekly settlement updates after I get through orientation.

    I have a friend that bobtails to KOA campgrounds whenever he wants some days off, hooks to shorepower like an RV.(he has an all electric apu so it works perfect) Let's him fish, walk some trails, catch uber rides or rent a car, clean showers and laundry on site etc. Good option to look at rather than just basic hotels.

    Home every night, only hauling steel.$1000.00-$1200.00a week. There are better opportunities out there.

    Good luck

    It isn't about making it. A homeless single guy with no bills except a cell phone can make it on 6 dollars an hour flipping burgers. Us doomsday crowd don't say you can't make it on these crap flease purchase deals. We are just flabbergasted as to why someone would choose them over much better opportunities.

    Malone, which due to being owned by CRST, is a bottom feeder, but their rates are better than $1.05 plus fsc! At that rate your take home will be around $.25 a mile.
