    Thought this job had free room and board. That’s a big chunk of money saved. Like $1500 a month, maybe more.

    The Eton CL ad I posted claims it's local and pays $25/hr. Why didn't you take that?

    It's free but you get what you pay for if you know what I mean. It's doable for me for sure, but it's not exactly the nicest set up. I'd say it's worth right around $1000 a month with the food and coffee included.

    Run the truck, save cash and in 6 months or so, start looking for a different job.

    That will put him at 3 jobs in a year and a half.

    I was hoping the job market would start looking better by the summer but it still smells like doodoo

    Schneider!!! Self-flagellation isn't a solution.
    Tesla, in Sparks, Nevada might be the solution.

    I'd still take the flatbed job that includes room & board. The other drivers there are handling it.
