    I’d try to work toward going home daily. You can still make 70k plus working 8 hour nights or more for longer run more hours. My buddy made 69k last year and works 6.5 hours a night.

    Do you know what the sleeper trucks come with? I assume a fridge but do they have an inverter, APU, etc? I think I’m getting a 2 yr old FreightLiner

    thanks again

    Cool, thanks so much! Main thing is the inverter so I can use a microwave, grill & crockpot. I rarely eat truck stop food.

    There home daily positions in Fort Myers are only advertising $21.03 an hour. Seems kinda cheap to me.

    Let's just say $21.03 an hour might cover your rent, depending on where you are.
