    If your income is that low it’s your own fault. There’s money to be made in trucking

    well, i worked a dedicated account, for a company that only does dedicated accounts. i only worked 5 nights a week, home weekends and all holidays. i usually got home with-in 8.5 to 9.0 hours each morning. a tad bit longer in bad weather, like snow/ice.

    now, no, i did not gross over $200,000, but i was always very close to $73,000 each year. and i could NOT HAVE BEEN any happier

    i think you just don't know how to look for work.

    I feel like this is a troll post. Even though they have been a member since 2010. That or they have no clue what they are doing.

    $200K in a high pressure corporate back stabbing environment, in a high cost big city stacked 10 high?

    Or $80K, driving around the country, with a home in a low cost of living area?

    What do you want out of life?

    1.if you live in the inner city with all the hobo tents everywhere, why not save money on rent and live in a tent like everyone else? the housing costs are high because hackers buy up everything and working people can no longer afford anything. and the state that taxes us hard doesn't help out in building housing they even take it further and make it difficult for people to start up new housing projects from what i heard. then we got house flippers who leech off the housing market and don't solve the housing shortages they make the high house costs higher as the end result of their work, then house flippers buy from house flippers and a big bubble is created, then the truely only hackers can afford those houses or people with very unrealistic incomes that a normal working contributive member of society will never be able to afford that.

    2. if you spend just about ALL your time driving around the country, then why are you buying a house, THAT YOU nearly NEVER get to live inside of it?

    3. i'd really like to know where these 'low cost of living' areas are, in california they surely are not in the outskirts where i live, it's high cost of living throughout the whole state from what i seen. from also what i seen west coast is similar oregon and washington, i was thinking about moving out of california and then realized most of the country is bad aswell it seems. i could be wrong though.
