    Even cash doesn’t make you exempt from the courts
    Too many people have cameras watching cameras
    Even all this “ burn the city “ down stuff showing up
    There seems to be a lot of footage for the lawyers.
    No matter what side they’re on and as we seen in the last two big cases, Rittenhouse and the 3 guys who just got hung
    Both of those had a lot and in the Rittenhouse case the prosecution team was not playing by any rules

    I know a driver that had two part-time jobs and drove local as his full-time job.
    He drove full-time and also did package delivery and ran a paper route.
    Another was a motorcycle mechanic and cut firewood and sold it.
    Another one worked as a full-time driver M-F and had a Teamsters job driving Saturday & Sunday.
    Another one did a Houston,TX turn out of Tennessee; one time a week. The rest of the week he and his wife operated their own child care center with 140 children each paying $145.00 weekly. He kept his driving job as a backup plan, plus a pension and cheap BCBS health insurance.
    So, yes, take care of yourself and your family and prepare for an early retirement.
    I've known dozens of these over the years.
    They kept their eye on the goal; an early retirement while still young enough to enjoy it.

    I did some extensive looking for part-time work for a brand new driver because that's exactly what I was looking for as well, and the only company I found willing to hire someone with no experience part-time was Schneider. You'll still have to spend three weeks in their orientation, but luckily I had enough vacation time from my other job to accommodate it. So far, it's working out well.

    Well, that’s certainly an unfortunate revelation. So much for my foot modeling career.

    Thanks so much for all your replies and guidance.
    It's really appreciated.
    My goal in the trucking industry is as you mentione - to pass along wealth to my family and retire early.
    I'm on track for both as it is and I'm hoping with some hard work; trucking will accelerate and solidify my plans.
    Thanks sir.
