Hi ! I ' m looking for a popplio , can offer you a Rowlett for it ! <| sep |> This worked . Thank you ! <| sep |> Interesting . You can see all your friends in the background . <| sep |> What department is that ? <| sep |> Just the tip ? <| sep |> I start Dec 13 th . a Business Analyst role in a small company . pretty excited <| sep |> He also happens to be really funny . <| sep |> This will probably get buried , but as I have been driving almost 6 years , I ' ll tell my version of realistic . The first 6 months out of driving school , I made . 26 c mile . I was getting maybe 15002000 miles per week . Maybe 300400 bucks a week take home this was with a major nationwide long haul dry van company . Average of 1314 hours per day . This was the BEST I could find . The very norm that companies still offer is 1 day home time for every 6 days worked . But you can only take it once a month . Out 26 days , home 4 . After this , I went straight to local fuel delivery . I knew a guy who was willing to train me . The job was not too tough at all , and I worked there a year making 15 . 50 per hour . Working 1011 hour days . Home every night . Moved to a different local fuel company , worked there 2 years making 17 . 75 per hour . Home every night . After this , I let my hazmat lapse and took some time off of driving due to family emergency . After about 6 months , back to work . Went to a company that hauled ammonium sulfate in double trailers up to Canada and back around the NW states . Made . 46 c per mile . Good miles , made around 40 , 000 my first year . Home on average 2 days every 6 worked . Average 14 hour days . Got a felony , lost hazmat permanently at least for a decade or so . Also no longer into Canada . Current job . Hauling wood chips . I work long hours , 1416 hours per day , 5 days a week . I make $ 160 $ 250 per day it ' s paid by the load , so it depends . Home every night , but all I do is work and sleep except the weekends . 250 a day might sound great , but take into account a 16 hour shift and it ' s $ 15 . 62 per hour of long hours , hard work . The day I find a trucking company that allows me to work 10 or 11 hours a day , local It will be a dream come true . I am just starting to think that those jobs do not exist , or like the guy above said They are never advertised and simply are who you know . I wish I had never gotten a felony , I would be doing fuel . It is the only trucking I can think of that was close to my dream job .
