    How much money do you consider peanuts?
    Do you have endorsements?
    Hold off on the lease/purchase for now.
    With 12 months you can do a fairly decent lease/purchase with :

    Maybe there's some company driver positions you can be satisfied with, if we know about endorsements.
    New Orleans is a good location for some good company jobs.

    Get all the endorsements, then go with a tanker or line haul company. Then you can "take home" over a thousand a week.

    Celadon has good pay structure: I think teams split .60 cpm.
    Lots of cash for vacation pay& you can take the cash and keep working if you don't want a vacation.

    Do you need a Hazmat or Tanker Endorsement to drive your trucks?
    No. Because we do not haul liquids or Hazardous Materials, you do not need either endorsement. However, we will be getting into those areas by the end of the year, so if you already have those endorsements, that will sure help you in the future.
