    The only way I can make that kind of money, not trucking, is if I go back to school. Now that being said, yoplait is a 40 minute drive from me and they are offering $16.41 per hour to start and they are union.

    If you are putting in 70 to make a 40hr check you are doing it wrong.

    ####### it. I posted this and it cursed me. Suddenly I'm setup with a giant new account. There goes my entire lazy off season.

    Oh yeah I'm a part-time driver these days I admit it freely. Actually I take pride in that. The granite I will actually stay out longer between now and Thanksgiving as well to take a week off for Thanksgiving and then another week off at Christmas. After New Year's, who knows we'll see. I may just buy another truck and trailer and hire a couple drivers and not even drive anymore myself.
