    The question is how hard are you willing to work to make that much?

    That's the bottom line, how much does money matter to you? How much are you willing to do to earn that $1500 take home?

    You might be spending a lot of time underneath the bosses desk, running illegally, or working in some absolutely deplorable conditions.

    Work smarter, not harder. You're better off making 900 a week and spending 300 while working 45-50 hours a week rather than making $1500 a week working 90 hours a week and spending a $1000 a week. Which will happen because you'll be blowing money on overpriced truck stop food, five hour energy/coffee, cigarettes, and have money burning a hole in your pocket on Saturday night (aka gentleman's club) because you worked so hard over the week.

    Tldr: Work smarter, not harder.

    Yea add those 2 numbers together and divide by 10. There's your real take home pay for CRE. And $350 might still be pushing it lol

    I have cleared 1500 and over at a couple of jobs, one was running line haul and I got paid by the hour usually 65-68 hours for the week but it was running a sixth day if I had the hours is where I made the big money like 1700 clean. The other job was driving in Texas to the oil fields and New Mexico sometimes.
