So sick of not making a living wage!

1) You may also want to try & get a civil service job with either the federal government, the state, the county, or the city / town.
2) Upon retirement, you would probably get a civil service retirement pension, in addition to your Social Security. It's worth a try.

Good luck to you and your entire family.

I'm in my first year, but did a significant amount of research prior to taking the OTR job I have now. I paid for my own school. I got offers from 4 of the 5 companies I applied at. It's hard to know for certain what the companies that I didn't go with would have paid, but the offers were typically in the $800 to $1100 a week range gross, factoring the offer with potential bonuses.

As for the company I did go with, I'm pulling down average $938 per week gross, with bonuses. I'm not getting rich, but I'm happy. You should be able to get your 3K per month without issue, if you go OTR. But there are many options out there. Do lots of research. The job you pick, you should stay at for at least a year. Someone I trust suggested 2 years, before being able to open up the good jobs.

Another suggestion is Tyson Foods out of Springdale Arkansas. Texas is in their hiring area. The company is known for paying their drivers well, with excellent benefits, and DECENT respect for their truck drivers. The job is worth looking into.

Their email address is HRISSupport@tyson.com.

If I was able to pass a DOT physical, I would have gone to a truck driving school to learn how to drive a truck. I would have also liked to have worked for an OTR company driving all 48 states and Canada. Tyson Foods would have been one of my top choices.
