How to decide where to live/what company , when you first start?

i would disagree with some of that because i wouldn't drive at all at 62 if i ever had to do anything but drive
but anyone likes the red sox can't be wrong

 

I have 7 children, so I understand about moving. My oldest one is 52 and the youngest is 8. It's funny when people ask if he's my great grandchild. His brother is 12. Yep they're mine and have the DNA to prove it.
I got tired of dealing with winter in Tennessee. I know it's mild winters compared to other parts of the country, but I just got tired of it, so moved to Las Vegas.
I'm familiar with Owensboro & Madisonville. Hauled a few loads of tobacco scrap out Owensboro and took it to some cigarette manufacturer in North Carolina. Years ago they buried the tobacco scrap in land fills, but eventually saw it as a money maker and started using it in cigarettes and pipe tobacco.

 

$60K weekly is about average with tankers. Some Trimac drivers make over $100K per year, but that's after 24 months experience and qualifying for the "Elite Fleet." They don't all make that much, but the ones with the strongest work ethic and hustle do. A couple of them post on here at times.
I made $65K pulling hazmat/tankers and a few of the drivers made $72K. Paid the same empty or loaded. My pay was below average there because I took time off for travel overseas. That company doesn't hire in your area though.

half the state is dry ain't it
oe were you plannin on runnin shine

 

locke put down 50000
this isn't car shopping where they will screw you because you asked them too

Can't really negotiate with trucking companies as to pay. Tanker work is easy and making $60K is the norm and on the low side.
I wouldn't drive a beer truck or soft drink truck for $100K per year; it's not worth destroying your back.
