Well, the 350 per week isn't much of a reason to stay home. And no, just because you don't have to pay the sitter the 170 doesn't mean you can add it to your income.....it's still going to be 350 per week.
The average wage of a truck driver is around $800 per week.
So if you take the $800 - $520 = $280 income not realized.
However, you are in a pretty good position to look for a good job, and not to settle for the first one at a lower wage. And it wouldn't hurt to take alittle time off to be with your family.
Around 3 months. After that, I would try to get into a local gig.
Either way, good luck. :wink:
