Thinking of jumping ship after almost 3 years

I'll follow my heart but not until I use my head and weigh all the pros and cons, like I said I'm not in a hurry.
Anyways the smaller company doesn't have much turn over so I'm really just getting my foot in the door, it could take a while to get on with them.

 

You old timers do put your pants on one leg at a time don't ya?

 

They aren't bad really but I think the smaller company I picked up an app for may be better, I have talked with a number of their drivers and heard no complaints and in fact quite the contrary.
One guy I was with in the tipper booth with at Weyerhaeuser Longview,WA while dumping chips on side by side tippers was pretty animated about how good his company was to their drivers.
I had to seek the place out, they never advertise for drivers and their yard/shop is out in a rural area not too far from where I live.
It's a small family owned business and the owners live on the property where the yard and shop is.

I think my bud was a ticking time bomb,he only worked there for a couple months after leaving the company I'm with now.
That said I agree with you,I have a family but my kids are grown and on their own now but OT I do a lot of already just to make ends meet so I'd just be making more money for the same amount of hours.
At any rate, I'm leaning more towards the small company that pays percentage of laod doing the same type of work I do now VS the bigger sand and gravel outfit that pays hourly.
Still doing my homework/research on both and I ain't jump'n without a parachute lol.

Thanks all who have responded so far, I truly appreciate all the thoughts and insight.
