    Easy solution is to stay out over the weekends.I doubt your company would object to that.

    Not in PA you would be lucky take 300 to 400 a week at a 40 hours in a week average pay. Trucking to start 700 is good.

    PA is very diverse, We have ma and pa LTL companies paying more then union jobs,On the flip side ,Questionable roll off dumpster companies paying $11 hr with no benefits and no vacation.

    Good for you, $700 is a nice start pay. PA is cheap
