    Are you running the AC all day with the windows open??

    The most expensive electric bill I've had this year has been $230.

    So Where I live it's pushing 120° everyday. They say, oh, it's 114 or whatever anything over a 110. It just really doesn't matter. You get used to it. Call your electric company. Had you been there for over 6 months? They'll do a flat rate, which means they take the summer and the winter, and they average it out, and you end up paying less per month, but you pay it all year, as opposed to higher in the winter or higher in the summer. It's better to be there for a year because they're gonna average out the winter, and if you weren't there, they're going to average out whatever whoever was there at that time.
    As far as miles go try and talk to some of the drivers there, because a lot of companies will pretty much every company won't over promising under deliver. You might be getting 60 cents a mile, but how many miles are you guaranteed? Or you could be getting a ton of miles, but only making like 51 cents a mile.
    Remember, the grass is always greener until Some recruiter drags their b******* into your yard. Do your research don't make any irrational decisions. Unless you absolutely have to.
    Good luck

    Yes you can. I could get that at .53 cpm. Granted it would have to be over 3000 miles.
