Moving for a job?

What kind of position is it? Otr, regional or local?
If it’s otr doesn’t really matter if you’re 3-4 hours away. As you’d be away from home 3 weeks at a time anyway. Regional ehh..I mean making that drive every few days wouldn’t be worth it ... local... forget about it

 

At that range it’s too far... you gotta factor 2 hours a day commuting back and forth to work on top of at least a minimum of a 10 hour shift. The amount of miles you’d put on a personal vehicle. That’s 120 per day if you get 400 miles per tank you’d be refilling every 3 days with out any other driving.
What’s the company? And what are they offering?

 

Some guys where I work live an hour away from the terminal. I lived in a hotel for a few months before. It’s really expensive compared to an apartment so don’t do it for too long.

 

Is this a dream job Mack? What are they offering?

 

I wouldn't tell them you're willing to move for the job. I'd float the idea as being an opportunity that came up regardless of the job, and what would they think if you went ahead with it.

 

If you like where you are living, stay put. Jobs come & go. It is possible that this could be the job you will be working in for a long time to come. However, if the job does not work out, you may end up being miserable having given up a place that you have been living in for a period of time.

God bless every American and their families! God bless the U.S.A.!

The absolute sheer driving force of our national economy - without truck drivers, our entire national economy would come to an absolute standstill - if not outright be dead.

Over the mountains, through the woods, into the valleys, coast to coast, from sea to shining sea - truck drivers can and do go anywhere and everywhere, every day, every night, all year round.

 

I did that for a spell, couple times, actually. An hour is a bit much. Falling asleep on the way home, car trouble, the last thing you want to F with after a long day. Commuting is for the birds, total waste of time, and I had other things that needed to be done. Many times, in a rural setting, like I was, I HAD to commute, and many don't have a choice.
