    thought you meant take home after taxes a 1000-1100 a week. Thats not to hard to do then... I usually average 950-1150 a week, but the taxes kill you so I bring in any where from 630-850 a week after them

    Sorry! The local/ home town job isn't working out. I've been watching lots of your videos on youtube, honestly I just went to your channel and saw the link to here and all of this is really a shock to me, I know your getting tons of advice, but I do know for a fact, your not doing your reputation any favors by switching jobs so much, I understand the safety concerns, this tells me your smart and mature for your age. I don't know the details of the other problems with your current employer, but you REALLY need to do a little soul searching and find out what is the best thing for you, and for those who are important to you. I don't mean to sound like a" Dad" but here go's " A reputation is an easy thing to get, and dang hard to get rid of."


    Best of luck, I'll be watching and listening.

    Try the big LTL's you'll get a call back trust me. These companies don't care about job hopping. Do they care if you work hrs or run miles? Nope! It's a business. Drivers in this industry do it all the time til they find the right company. Just like foodservice you get canned the next company will pick you up a week later as long as your driving record is decent for Ins. reasons. LTL isn't much different. Otr is a different animal.

    I was thinking of going to work for them once I had my year with Roehl but decided to stay where I'm at. Only reason I'll leave this job I have now is for a substantial pay raise or to drive a hood. Also considering buying a w900 or 9900ix, haven't decided which.
