$16. hr. Local line P&D

J. Michael,

My sympathies on the loss of your wife. I'm not familiar with your local economy and wage structure, but lacking lengthy experience, the wage sounds okay. I have less than a year OTR, take winters off, and only want part-time the rest of the year. I recently found and hourly, seasonal, part time driving job that should meet my needs. I enjoyed OTR, but conditions at my former company have deteriorated, and I don't care for all the uncompensated work that is part & parcel with OTR.

Best wishes to you in adjusting to widower and new work..

 

Most truck stops I have used is $10 for a shower if I don't have points on my card. I have paid 7 at a few and 3 at one. There are a couple out there that have free showers and free coffee even if you don't buy fuel or service plaza's on the tolls are free.

 

Sorry about your loss. Take the local job get some more time in and then you can look for a better tanker job. Hourly pay is guaranteed and miles aren't. At home when you get in your truck your being paid while your waiting to be loaded or unloaded. Best of Luck

 

Sorry to hear that! That is always a concern of mine. What would happen if something happens to my wife and I am on the road. We have a daughter at home and no family in the same state. I am sorry for your loss. I hope you find what you need to stay at home.

 

I would forget the GPS and get a Thomas Guide for your area.

 

yes $16.00 hr.is good pay and sleeping in your home at night is much better than a truck, you should know this at your age.

 

Congrats on the job, I tried out a job today (local) and I like it. Its physical work as well as driving and thats fine by me.Plus great pay. started at 6:30am and was done with last stop by 11:30 am,was back at the shop for 1:15 - 1:45 home by 2:30.
