We have fuel hauling here. Pays $65K/yr, tops. I won't do it. They are one of the highest paying around here. They try to use the excuse of cost of living here. But they don't sell the fuel cheaper. Close friend of mine did fuel for years. I went with his advise.
I personally work OTR, dry van. I enjoy it.
To leave or not?

I’d only take the fuel job if I needed the money, your current job sounds seriously great to me.

What does your fiancé do? Do you want kids?
The beer job allows you other options…like if you eventually wanted to start your own business. You could run the beer run and get your own hustle on and get it off the ground. The fuel job will have you locked in where you don’t have the time to do anything.
If you and the fiancé are really tight knit and comfortable, and she’s around your age, odds are she’s going to want kids. That will greatly affect your income. And the beer job is a young man’s job. You’re not always going to be young.
If you are comfortable right now, don’t look at the fuel job as a way to buy more stuff. That’s a mistake. Keep your cost of living the same and stack all the extra and make money work for you. Working more to buy more is not a really bright idea.

Let me ask you this, if both jobs brought in exactly the same money, which one would you rather do and why?
