STRUGGLEING..
Hey Guys, and Gals,,I am going to school in January or early February..and I'm trying to figure out which company best fits my needs..I have a 2yr old and a 11 yr old..both girls..and wife...I need to make the most money but at the same time have home time as well..I don't know if I'm just reaching for the stars or what..my family is fully aware of the otr time and is prepared as much as they can be..with that said I'm torn between Prime and Melton..flatbed division of course..they both offer great training and basically same hometime..14/21--3/4 days off..I don't know..It's like I just want somebody to choose for me..but I know thats not logical..any input would be greatly appreciated..
p.s. the reason I'm waiting so long to start school is because I'm the only one working. My wife is in school and will be done in december..and will be working in January...so I have to wait till she can cover the bills for a month or so while I'm in school..it sucks so bad because I'm bringing home less than $400 a wk with my current job..and it takes everything I am to keep everything on..lights, phones..etc...it just sucks having to wait until I can really provide for my family..like a man suppose to..it's so disheartening not to be able to right now..I know it is all in the Lords timing..
