","text":"Actually that’s a great idea. Walmart drivers start at 87k a year and you get home at least once a week, maybe more? Probably benefits as well. Better pay package than most of the industry and way more stability. Either that or keep your eyes and ears open for a local opportunity that pays well and gets you home more. Good luck brother!

Looking for a high paying local job anywhere at the moment, although I did find this sweet otr flatbed company running all new 389's and paying 75-96/yr. Been thinking about becoming an electrician too.","replyToPid":0}

{"replyToPid":0,"replyTo":"","text":"First of all if you’re out for a month a couple days isn’t long enough home time! Rule of thumb is one day off for every week out! You should be taking 4-5 days off, not counting the day you get home! \n\nI go out a little over a month and take five full days off! Hardest part is night before when I’m packing getting ready to go back out and on road again! My wife supports my job but I can tell it’s wearing on her! She won’t admit it but I can tell! And that’s what’s hurting me the most! And my cat seems to be sad when I pack up and leave! I swear that cat knows and is sad! \n\n"}
