    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.

    Worked @ RAC (Rent A Center) as a delivery/sales manager/collection for 7 years at best $673 a week for average 55 hrs. Now I make 1800-1900 a week at 55-60hrs.
