Modestly experienced driver question

Great response! I’m not close to being homeless or anything, I just can’t make enough money to pay the bills AND save money. There’s just no money at the end of the month. I think I’m going to take the job, roll for a year or so, and then try to find something local or regional. Thanks for the advice!

 

UPDATE: So, I’ve passed the road test (which was barely a road test, my 11 year old would’ve passed) and I’m sitting at a Love’s waiting for a PM on the truck they assigned me. I’ve got some serious reservations and need input. Here’s the deal with the job:
First red flag: it’s a 1099 gig. I wasn’t told this before coming out here, didn’t know to ask. It’s 1099, but pays like a w2 job…50cpm loaded, 20cpm empty. I’m potentially financially responsible for everything that entails, as well as various things like damage, late deliveries, etc.
Second red flag: the fleet, or at least the truck I’m in, is in pretty shoddy condition. A million miles, interior looks like it used to be a crack house, bald tires (just replaced those), hood won’t latch shut on one side, fairing mount busted and only held in place by the locks, etc. I foresee maintenance issues down the road.
Third red flag: I’m not comfortable driving teams. I neither want my life in someone else’s hands, nor theirs in mine. It’s a borderline deal breaker for me. I was given no indication that I’d be anything but a solo driver until I got the contract, which said I must agree to team drive if they ask me to. I won’t do it, so if they want to play hardball on that, I’ll terminate the contract.

I’ve already signed the contract, but one of the first items on it is a clause saying either party can terminate the contract at any time without cause, so I can just quit.

What do y’all think?
