I thought getting paod by the load was a great idea until im running from virginia to iowa empty with no pay. Didnt even think about it when they threw high numbers at me. And my old ladys looking at me crazy bc I been on the road for 2 months and nothing to show for it. Its xmas I'm from illinois and im sitting in a truck on the Alabama florida border. Shes not happy with me lolx1Heavy, BigDog Trucker, CruzControhl and 3 others Thank this.

Man that sucks :/ I’ve worked, and sat during Christmas. But it was by choice. Even that can suck.
Hopefully the wife will be more understanding if you get something that can bring some money in. Having the felony can make things hard. But there are some companies that will give you a chance. There used to be a job site that allowed you to search for companies that hired felons. I can’t recall what it was though.
Hell, check out oil field jobs. Yes, you’ll be away from home. But you’ll be making enough to keep the wife plenty happy.
Any way you go, you should be making about a grand minimum these days.BigDog Trucker, CruzControhl and Awol Thank this. -

Oh! And don’t be worried about fly by night companies too much when looking into oil field jobs. But do listen to other drivers that actually work there.
My former oil field job (way back) was so sketchy they had to pay everyone with cashiers checks to even get them to show up. I worked for them for 2 years. Made hella money.
Even a small start up is rolling in the $$$ -
West Side Transport has a guaranteed minimum weekly pay.

Is the wife in a situation where she can ride with you in the truck?
-
No she works for a home healthcare place and is at home with her 2 kids. And whats it mean when they say they pay practical miles? Sounds like a catch to me.

I dont think I can get hazmat my last felony was a robbery.
