Well James talked to the man that we met at Ceaser's about the job. The money is a little less than we thought but the starting pay is 2,500 a week. Still incredible money and a wonderful opportunity to make some changes in our lives. He said that is the starting pay he has guys that drive for him that make the 3500 that we thought and some that make more than that. ALL expenses would be paid for him on the road lodging, food etc. So the only thing that he would have to spend money on would be what he wanted to buy while on the road. We would have opportunity to visit and see him on the road too. He would be gone for the duration of the tour and that really sucks. He would miss alot and he isn't at all happy about that but knows what doors it would open up for us and he is willing to make the sacrifice for our family. At the end of this we could have virtually no debt and could have the house that we need to raise our family and for him to come home and not have to work his tail off to make sure everything is taken care of financially at home. I think he and I are in agreement that this is a good thing. I want him home all of the time and I know that this will lead to many long nights lonely for both of us. God only knows what he will encounter on the road and also who he would meet. A good Christian friend of ours said "Who knows at the end of this you could own your own fleet of buses and just hire drivers and have them work for you" ....good point. We are both scared but know that if he takes the job worst scenario would be he quits and goes back to trucking. The pros to this opportunity is that his work would be planned out for a year or so and we could plan when we could see each other and not have to worry about if freight is good or someone messing up a load and him getting stuck out waiting for a load. The pay is guaranteed weekly and bonuses are available too. Here lately freight has been scarce and he has worried if he is going to get enough miles in to pay for the bills. If he leaves his job now he would have no problem getting his position back and going back to trucking life. We are praying about it and trying to figure out if this is something that we can do. All signs are pointing to go for it right now. We are still collecting info. If he is going to take the job he would be leaving in a couple of weeks, but I can't talk about that without getting teary eyed. Please pray that will be lead in the right direction.
