    Not to bad IMO. For 5 days a week roughly 10 hour days, home nightly...

    There's absolutely nothing wrong with what you're getting paid, & you're making more than $79k. According to the chart you're paying $0 for health insurance & dental. I pay a little more than $12k a year for health insurance, & cash for dental. A person saying they make $100k doesn't mean anything, total compensation matters. If a guy makes $100k and has no health insurance, no dental, no disability, & no workman's comp then that person is an injury or sickness away from making significantly less than you.

    Dont compare yourself to any other driver in terms of pay... Theres more to trucking then just making lots of money.... If you love your job and your employer treats you well and gives you what you are looking for and you are happy with what you make then thats all that matters.... Making 79k per year being home everynight working for a great boss is a good gig.. Rather then making double for some #### head that doesnt care about his drivers and works you like a dog for 16 hours a day 7 days a week and u have no life outside of work.... Id take the less money anyday.

    Getting home every night is great, but, I work for it. Some days I move 7, 8, 9 coils, and at the end of the day I am beat.

    They’re okay, but I’ve pretty much been out since the week before Thanksgiving due to Covid-19. I hope to be back by the end of this month, but I need the cardiologist to sign off on my return to work first.
