    I would have to be believe that in Las Vegas they have a lot of jobs for food delivery, liquor and beer delivery and probably textiles like bed sheets towels stuff like that to supply the casino hotel industry.

    Generally Sysco and who ever else out there usually pays pretty good, I know In N Out Burger if your lucky to get on with there private fleet is about 80-100K a year which is killing it here in Ohio, but out west it's probably okay, but that will get you pretty far in Ohio.

    ^^^ Yeppers, George . . . the cost of living in Ohio, even CLE and CMH where Bob and Mike live , < i live in the boonies, and love it, btw... all acres~ > is definitely cheaper than Long Island, and Florida / Bradenton-Sarasota, where the wife lived after LI NY. Us 3 Buckeyes do pretty good here...just an idea! Good luck on your endeavours, no matter! "Mature lives Matter!" hahahaha.. had to say it. Best wishes; be safe.

    I managed 56k last uear. Averaged 15-1700 a week for spring and summer and around 5-600 a week in the winter. You can afford the slow time if you know how to budget.

    Making $20 an hour to start delivering medical supplies with a daycab and various length trailers, mostly 48', and sometimes having to use the lift. Fair amount of having to touch boxes/totes depending on your route, but most of it is straight pulls using an electric jack. My route is the weekend one so a bit shorter than the rest, but I'm taking home mid $500 a week. I'm sure some of the guys with the longer routes and more seniority are grossing close to 1k if not more. But I also get 3 days off a week, and even though I'm weekend my schedule coincides well with my wife's so we get some decent time off together.
