    I agree 100%. All the people I know that are cheating are women who cheat at their gym. Straight up husband working, being better than half way decent and their woman just wants that rush. Every cheating story I’ve heard of was a 9 to 5 situation

    Lived in and been to almost all the US major cities, never ever would I want to be near them in a big truck. Best place to be in a truck is on that long lonesome where all you can hear is a jake purring 3 miles away

    sounds like the cops that enjoy that civil forfeiture bonus pay, or the countless political figures that have a child preference.

    Back on topic:

    The advice to move to a no-income-tax state is spot on. TN and SD have no income tax and plenty of big-money driving positions from which to choose.

    Depending upon your experience and background, you could look into hauling DoD Clearance loads. Hazmat tanker jobs are always available (Kwik Trip/Kwik Star is advertising an average pay for their fuel drivers in Clear Lake, IA of $109,000, but then you'd have to live in Iowa). Reefer if you prefer the mileage and don't mind a lot more night driving. California Overland out of Wabasha, MN would send you pulling a reefer to CA and back every week if you wish. If you don't mind monotony, there are hundreds of FedEx Ground contractors running linehaul routes for good money. I once passed up an opportunity to run a wide-open glider pulling intermodal tanks of Hydrogen Peroxide from Phoenix to Austin 2.5 times per week (I lived in El Paso at the time) for $1500/load on 1099 back in 2016 (I went back to college at the time so this wouldn't have worked with my schedule)... that would have been up to $195k in a perfect world, but the federal taxes would have eaten a huge chunk out of it.

    Many opportunities exist to stack cash, you just have to think outside the box.

    You ain't never lied man. In my mind, predictability breeds ground for cheating. I bet a Wal-Mart driver could have all kinds of fun. Predictable schedule, good money, and he's gotta wear a uniform, you know how the ladies like a man in uniform lol.

    Well I don’t want to take this way off topic, but this is why a lot of people feel like the divorce laws need to change. They’ve done studies and keep in mind this was like 5 to 10 years ago that concluded that women have actually caught up to men when it comes to cheating and in some studies maybe even passed us up. And get this, there better cheaters than men are. We tend to give ourselves away and get caught. Women instinctually know how to cover that stuff up. Lol no I don’t want to stereotype and say all women cheat, I’m just saying they’ve caught up to us with that department.

    these women I know in particular are ruthless about it, in the sense they give zero #### about.

    probably won’t be like that for long. JB Hunt is getting into the logging business. I know one company sold them 11 log trailers and the buyer said they were buying from other manufacturers also.

    Hah I'd like to see them try. As you say if JB won't pay good, they won't get drivers in the first place. It's hard enough to find drivers even at what I'm being paid, which looks like will be more this season since the rates are rumored to go up this year to cover increased fuel cost and I'm paid a percentage. As of now I'm the only driver my boss has that will be starting next week. He has 2 more maybe starting later in the month but 1 worked last year for only 2 months n quit so not very reliable. The other will only come to work the summer, if he comes at all.
