Yeah, just to let u guys know... At 750 a week when ur already in the hole with bills, a cash advance is a must. I am not over spending. Really, I'm not. 30 bucks a week on groceries between dollar tree and walmart. 10 dollars on personal items...then bills at home. That includes the bare minimum; rent, lights, food, internet (my daughter is in college) and that is all.
End my 2 year trucking career?!

Okay, I don't know if you're ever going to get a really good/accurate answer to your question because none of us know your situation first hand and what you consider good/doable versus what any of us consider that could be apples and oranges.
I'm not in any way familiar with your current company, so can't comment on them either way.
Do you hate PA, or do you hate the job you have now that you are in PA? If your like you can call Millis Transfer, they are based out of Black River Falls, Wisconsin but anywhere in PA should (used to be) in there hiring area anyway.
If CPM is your primary concern you can do better then .40 with them. They don't carry chains so you won't need to be throwing them but you WILL do doing Northeast. Not all the time, but it will be a reg thing, especially considering your home is in PA.
No place is ever perfect, and they are no different. The trucks are set up nicely, but there is a good amount of big brother them also. The miles are there (at least they were for me) as long as you're willing to get into the seat and drive them.
If the 750 a week you mentioned is gross I got my start at Millis and did better then that every week with no experience.
Also, I will probably get tarred and feathered for this, but you may want to look at Craigslist. When I had to come off the road to help with the geriatric generation I found my current job thru there. There was a lot of crap on there but some good ones mixed in if you can take the time to dig thru it all.
Just a suggestion, take it for what it's worth, which isn't really much at all....Last edited: Mar 19, 2019

I'm not saying they are the best but you can see some do pay different. Their no catch to minimum pay. Like if have a slow week then a good week they take money back makeup for the slow week. I have seen that before. They run the truck pretty hard I think. Because they are on the hook every week for $1,000+

The pay advance steals next week's pay before you get it. It's a treadmill. Next week's check will be cut by the amount you took this week. If you stop the pay advances, your checks stay the same. Spending is the only thing you can control. The less you spend the more choosey you can be about work. If money is super tight, than any load is your load. You won't like them all but they all generate miles and money. If you've driven 2 years you have enough experience to go anywhere. People with less ability and brains than you are doing it every day. I grew up poor and making choices is how you get out of it.
