    mine is 180-240 (240 during summer usually)
    Must be something bad to be 500+ regardless.

    I mean amazon warehouse is paying 1,200 a week in Texas 4 days 3 days off no driving warehouse work. While in California free house or apartment rent they pay the 2k-3k jeff bezos is your sugar daddy you take home 1,700-2500 in a warehouse entry level position. So I think truck drivers should get paid more and they are worth the 1,400 and so much more.

    Has anyone tried getting people to pay them to keep clothes on. I tried but got threatened to call the cops. And one worse a 4-500 lb monster named little Betty told me she’d pay for me to take them off. lol. I was having nightmares for a month.

    That’s why I bought myself a little piece of land built a very small talking 500 square-foot cottage on it that works for me and I’ve driven pretty much nonstop for the past five years and paid everything off and I have no debts and no payments. Yes I still have bills, like property, taxes, taxes, and registration, electric, all those types of things but if I really had to I could survive on about $1200 a month right now. I mean, if you got a big family that’s different but if you’re single, and your truck driver, you really can set yourself up to live super cheap and comfortable and be happy.

    Why don’t you start drinking Cobra beer? It’s cheap and will hit you like a cobra, will have you walking around like a cholo, elbows up, side to side
