Chevy, that's about as good an offer as anyone will ever see.
Is it consistant work?
Will you be doing this for more than a couple months?
Will it pay better than the B truck gig?
Will the local gig be with the same company?
Only you can answer as to whether or not you should take the job. The questions I included are ones that I might ask myself before taking another job.rocknroll nik Thanks this. -

my only bad thing is i have two little ones at home and it will be hard on both me and them not seeing them every night but it will be only temp for over the road so i can deal with it as i will then be able to bills up to date and put some money away and thanks for that -
I'd snap that job up quick. Based on your answers to misterG's questions that's a great gig. Go for it before someone else takes it. Don't look back. You won't find anything better IMHO.

thats a good gig, any benifits with it?

Take the job man. It is good money too. After taxes and benefits, you should be clearing around $840 which is good money.
