    I live about 20-30 mins away in Gilbert so I will be commuting. Live inside of 50 miles they have you commute, so no hotel I need to pay back but I do have the gas still so I'll come out ahead a little on that side of it.

    So the plot thickens, heres the deal, Swift has me about talked into going to orientation still on the 18th, I was offered a local job (not driving) for an hourly rate of $13.50/hr. With the economy the way it is, I do not foresee (and was kinda told) any increase for over a year at the local job. I do want to drive but my question is..should I ? or take the hourly job? Would trucking pay more in the end? Bills, etc not a concern either way and my wife will be going with me if I drive as a passenger not a driver.. Just looking for input on making a decision. Thanks.....
