Anything is possible. I dont hear any mention of HOURS though. You may be home at 11 pm and have to leave at 6am.

A friend here signed on doing local work hauling from dairys. He is averaging 1400 a week, and working 65 to 70 hours to do it. And they are hiring every other month it seems.

You also need to ask the furniture company if you are just driving the truck or will you be responsible for loading and unloading the truck.
