    Hey guys, I now have two jobs that are being offered to me as we speak I would like to hear others suggestion on it.

    I already got my foot in the door for Schneider where I was told I'll be making .34 cents per mile and my miles are averaging up to 2400 -2800 a week and suppose to equal out to 53k - 58k a year. I'll be on a georgia pacific account where I'll be home every weekend and has benefits.

    Fed Ex Ground, I was told I'll be making 90 or 100 dollars a day driving the small Fedex Box trucks running routes and delivering mail to ppl. They don't have no benefits but said they are working on getting some there so I'm not sure how long that will take. Not sure how much these ppl are averaging a year but I could imagine it'll be less than Schneider, plus I'll be home everyday.

    I'm torn between the decision though, my mom passed 2 months ago and my dad is sick and has no one to provide care for him if I'm not home.

    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    It sounds like you need to be home to help your dad. Look at it this way the Schneider job will probably be available in the future if not lots of companies are offering dedicated lanes.

    If your dad truly has only you to care for him, then take FedEx and be home daily. And I wish you well. Very difficult situation.

    I'd run the FedEx ground until you can get a Tractor trailer gig at FDXG. Don't want too much time loss from not driving tractor trailer. Then you'll get doubles experience. Then you can go elsewhere and make good money have bennies and be home daily. FedEx G looks good on a resume to jump onto LTL, Foodservice or other home daily gigs.

    Sound like home delivery. That is a lot of work. You might try finding solo line haul or spot account with fedex contractor

    I was a FXG contractor for 3 years and I can honestly say jumping out that door 100 times a day delivering packages is harder than it looks. Doing that job working for a contractor is worth way more than $100 daily, I can tell you that!
