Advice Based On Region

So I start work for Sysco on Monday. Living in the Metro Detroit, MI area.

I plan to stay for a good year at least, I have other ventures I’m investing in (property etc) that I’m going to use the money I make to get squared away and hopefully buy a truck to go O/O.

My question is what would be the best sort of fright to deal with being in the Michigan/Great Lakes area being an O/O. Something I could potentially make good or equivalent money to Sysco for example with less work. I have a line from my Mother In Laws friend who works out in Texas and needs help with oil/tanker work but idk. That’s a lot of time away from home (wife’s pregnant plus two small kids already). Is there something more reasonable in this area that makes sense?

 

I mean I’m not disallowed from leaving the country or anything. I’d just have to get an Enhanced license or passport or something.

Why do you ask?

 

yeah given that I’m like 20 minutes from the bridge to Windsor across the Detroit river that makes sense.

 

I wonder why he had a 3 axle…

 

Appreciate all the info. I’m just hitting Sysco for a year or so to get some experience to go elsewhere with.

I saw a couple openings for O’Reillys at 30-40 an hour depending on an experience and they want a year to two.

I couldn’t find Rheinhart on a Google search out of Hazel Park. Appreciate the info on the gravel truck I was just thinking about those earlier and the note as far as automotive parts.
