    It's been a really slow winter. Not much to talk about.

    Moneywise, it's hard to say. Last year was a slow windmill season, thus we all suffered for it. This winter has been brutal. Hoping the spring/summer picks up or this is going to be a really bad year.

    What did you make last year?

    Where would be the best place to move to get the most home time?

    I made $43K last year. If you want home time, you're looking at the wrong company. They want you out as much as possible.

    If you HAD to live somewhere Dallas or Houston would be best.

    Personally I think houston is the best bet for hometime. I live in FTW... 15 miles from HQ and I spent way more time in Houston than anywhere else. In regards to pay, my W2 last year from Jan to the end of July I made about 30k. As Dj said, this winter has been brutal so it is going to obviously affect the pay.

    I like it a lot, so do most of the people I speak to out here, your past (verifiable) experience dictates what level you'll come in as and hence which trailers you'll be pulling the most.
     
    retlow8 and billybakerjr75835 Thank this.
