    Earned $925/week gross in R&L Central Dispatch for team drivers as a dispatcher.
    Did the math and figured I earn about $30/hr driving for Walmart.

    Not likely. Most employers would hire a 2nd employee at regular time for that 30 hrs rather than pay the first employee overtime. In order to work 70 hrs you would have to get a 2nd part time job for 30 yrs at straight time.
