Looking for suggestions....

I currently have 2 years solid experience hauling dry bulk pneumatic tankers in and around Texas region ( Houston based) chemical and industrial plants. I enjoy most of what my company offers such as getting home daily 85% of the time...out and back loads...good equipment...get to take truck home....and its a pretty easy gig but I don't think the money is right for what I'm doing. I have heard other tanker drivers easily knocking out $1500 weekly...I'm not making close to that. I average maybe 750-900 a week take home after taxes most weeks ...some weeks I can take home 1000+ without breaking a sweat....
Am I looking at this wrong? Would I be sacrificing good fringe benefits to chase after a few hundred more dollars and would I be foolish to do so?
I've learned in this industry you can't have it all....good fringe benefits=less pay
More pay=less HOMETIME and fewer fringe benefits.....
Just looking for advice / suggestions from those in the industry if I am under/over valuing myself....
For better context...
I am a 4 year driver...2 YEARS IN PNEUMATIC TANKS...48 years old
Class A with Haz and Tank ENDS.
TWIC CARD
Perfect CSA and MVR
ALSO EXTENSIVE FLATBED AND DRY VAN EXPERIENCE.....
How should I value myself with these qualities?
Thanks.....

 

I've considered that. I really do like the company I work for. I think I'm caught in the "grass is greener" trap at the moment. Just curious what other drivers think.
We get an annual raise...uncapped. Also get quarterly bonuses. So the big picture is pretty good where I'm at, but obviously, we all want more money!! But at what cost is it worth?

 

I'm thinking the same thing. I've looked around a lot and across the board the only drivers making more than the average never go home so they never enjoy the money......and honestly I get paid pretty good for what I do AND get home a lot and keep my truck with me....

 

That's my struggle. Trying to determine if a few hundred dollars is worth the sacrifice. I've been OTR and hated it. Yes...money was decent but really not much more to justify the time and expense being away for weeks at a time.
I think I'm suffering from the "grass is greener" syndrome.
