    so in other words people are telling me to just lose my house live on the street and sell myself for money instead? cause when I say there are no jobs im not kidding there is nothing hiring not even wal-mart is hiring so in other words im pretty much screwed thanks for all the answers as if i wasnt already stressed out over everything this just tops the cake.

    You doubt us ? What trucking company are you going to for training ? How many trucks did they have last year ? How many do they have this year ? Probably the same amount . So where did all those newbies they hired and trained go ? 90% of them went home hanging their head and deeper in debt .
    You don't have money for school ? You have a house payment ? Will $300 a week training pay make your house payment ? You won't make much more than that after training .

    My husband gets a workers comp check every week which is what is keeping us afloat for now and we own our house but have lot rent to pay for I have literally applied at every job I can think of but being a stay at home mom for a year limits me its like people are punishing me for being a mom. And 300 extra a week would be a lifesaver my goal is to just do otr for 2 years so that I can come home to get a local job but most local companies wont hire unless you have otr experience

    I know things look rough. And I know that people here are not painting a pretty picture. I DO know about doing what you have to do to keep yourselves going. Since your husband does have some income, you might be ok during your training. Remember, tho, you will need money on the road for food and laundry. (And other stuff like feminine hygiene products).

    PM me, and I will try help you sort through things.

    Since you have had a job stevens would probably hire, since I havent had a job in awhile stevens wouldnt take me. but Ive been hearing pretty good things about Prime I applied at both Prime and Swift but of course I did it Thanksgiving night lol so waiting to hear back.
