Dude, $150/night for milk is not bad cash, at least here in the South.

 

Really with my new job I make around 1400 a week milk was 1500 every 2 weeks and now I work only 56hrs a week days m-f in milk I was 80 hrs a week nights so up here in vt milk pay sucks

Yea, the North (and Midwest AND West) pay better than the South. Just about everywhere pays better than the South. We have to pay for that sunshine somehow, right? Glad you're in a good position. I never hauled milk (I do fuel) but those wages are decent for the South for milk haulers.

 

Try going to revere and Chelsea. check boston globe. found short term trucking job hauling #6 and #4 oil out of northeast petro. always looking for drivers to haul this crap. call J.P. Noonan tell them your looking to drive. Mike

 

Yes get all endorsements while you're there at the DMV. You want to be ready to go and prepared at all times. Switching jobs can sometimes be a hassle and a trip to the DMV will always be inconvenient.

 

Anyone on here pulls for Liquid Cargo? Think about trying to get on with them out of Houston?
