Well, if you wouldn't mind driving twice as much as you do now,
and can qualify for a CDL, JB Hunt is hiring. They'll start you at
30 cents a mile (upped to 34 cents a mile in steps by the end of
the first year), and guarantee you 2,500 miles a week. That's
$41,600 the first year. After that, they have programs that can
raise you to 41 cents a mile, which works out to $53,300 a year.

Or you can supply your own tractor and they'll pay you 82 cents
a mile. That's $106,600 a year, but you'll have to pay off the
tractor out of that. (They require your rig to be less than ten
years old, and it'd cost you around a year's wages to pay for
a suitable used rig.)

Truck driver isn't a very glamorous job, and you're on the road
six days a week. But it does pay better than what you're doing
now, and driving for Hunt is steady work. A friend of mine drove
for them for several years. He was able to sock away quite a bit
of money by the time he wore out his rig.

Or there's still always QuikTrip. I was in there tonight getting
gas and noticed they have a new sign up. They're now saying
a store manager averages $53,320 a year in this area. That's
not a glamorous job either, but it is a steady paycheck, and
about twice what you say you're grossing now.
