any drivers in Hawaii making 70k

Kauai is my favorite vacation spot of all time. I went there on my honeymoon. Awesome weather year round, plenty of nature to check out, and the chilean sea bass at Roy’s was incredible.

On another note, a person qualifying for welfare and other govt assistance programs can make around 60k a year in Hawaii I heard in a news report a few years ago.

 

Dang small world! Roy lives in Frisco Texas and my neighbor started working for him at his Plano Tx Restaurant last year. The next time I go I will surely check out the Sea Bass. Apparently this Roy guy pioneered the whole Pacific Rim Cuisine thing.

 

Went to Maui last year and fell in love!!...on the trucking jobs you could always do trash, dump truck or run to the ports to pick up and drop off sea containers. We are actually thinking about moving there but are too worried about island fever. Best of luck

 

You weren't there long enough.
Spend a couple months there then check back.
That place gets smaller by the day.
Till you finally feel trapped, which you basically are.

Have you seen the cost of living out there.
You'll be a broke renter for the rest of your life.
Look at the prices of food.

 

Wtf!?

 

Yep, it’s true. I checked and it’s about 55 to 60k a year. Get this, my sister’s son, my nephew, is marrying a girl from the Potowami indian tribe. Between the money she gets every quarter and now that she is pregnant, the money she gets for her son, she will make 58k a year just for existing. Our govt is beyond screwed up.

 

I'd love to marry another native american chick my ex was my god she was terrific in ways other girls just don't know. Your nephew is one lucky dude.

 

Potawatomi is a tribe in Wisconsin. Recognized members get tribal money, (casino) not federal. No such group in Hawaii.

 

Hawaii is great, I've been there a few times and the wife and I have always thought about living there. We live 30 miles north of San Francisco, and this area was just officially declared more expensive than Hawaii. The price of housing and fuel were the main reasons, although food is still a lot cheaper here. I'm lucky that I had a career before being a driver that allowed me to buy a nice home here before everything got so expensive, and with the value of my house being so high I can sell it and move about anywhere and buy a decent house. Carriers have a very hard time finding drivers in Northern California because most can't afford to live here, and I'm sure that's probably a problem in Hawaii too. I imagine that driving in Hawaii is mostly delivery work from box trucks, since most of the towns there have very tight and narrow streets, and I'm too old to be unloading deliveries and hand trucking them to a customer. When the wife and I finally do decide to move out of California, it will probably be to Idaho where the value of our current house will get us a nice spread on some property.
