WOW! You have to work 10 hours just to pay for your insurance! That doesn't leave much to pay your bills with, especially if you're only working 40 hours. I don't think most T/L carriers will be much better though. Keep out of trouble and you will qualify for a better job. With your time off requirements and if you don't mind a little work, being a city driver for one of the ltl companies will pay better and the insurance will be a lot cheaper or cost you nothing.
