Like this? Lol
 
Well I have an offer on the table to go run a dump truck for a man. Now I don't know what to do. I couldn't find a driving job but now that I have one, I've had two other offers.

My dad always said that you got to go where the money is. Plain and simple

depends on what their lightweight is, with 1/2 a tank of fuel 70,000 pounds puts me at 105,500

I don't live by that motto. You can make money and work for a real prick and that's no bueno to me. I have my own truck here, my boss is a good guy and truly doesn't act like he's anymore than a friend. He keeps up the maintenance on out stuff without hounding on him. I like working for him and I don't know if I get paid decent or not but I like it here so I just don't think I'll be leaving for that job. It's only 25% of what the truck makes which doesn't sound like anymore than I make. I do put in several hours a day/week to make what I do but it's not that bad.
In the driving world (I'm new, 22 yrs old) I don't think following money is a good decision. You get a record of jumping jobs as then I think you'd be hard to hire. I know I would be hesitant to hire someone who has been driving for lots of people in a short time.
I think I'm just gonna hold out till I can buy my own truck.

If it's a clear cut better deal go for it, but I said this to T once you get the reputation of a job jumper it will be harder to get a job than it was to get your first one. Just my $.02
 
I've stayed where I'm at because basically I'm at the top of the pay scale for the type of work I do, I drive a damn nice, well maintained truck, my boss is cool as hell and basically let's me do whatever I want with the truck. I'm happy where I am so I see no need to go anywhere else, that's what it comes down to for me.
