Tami Bartel describes her work as "a tough, lonely job under the best of circumstances."

She's a truck driver who works nights, puts in many miles a day and is often far away from home. But, until now, "it was one of the best ways I knew for a gal with no college degree to make a good living."

I refused to take a cut because I know what I bring to the table. No one should ever accept lower money unless it's a SLIGHT cut but even then still figure out how to get the salary you were making before you left your last job.

Psycho talk. So you'll rather quit your job and be jobless because of a 10% pay cut.

Wisdom from a guy who last we heard couldn't pay his rent because he was unable to scam the state of PA for unemployment he wasn't eligible for.

You can accept a slight cut I'm just saying if you are used to making $50,000 don't accept a $40,000 job

For some ODD reason, that other half of the check I was supposed to get on 6/3/09 appeared in my account out of nowhere yesterday. So I am now offically BACK and that's a fact

No, you mean you just paid your rent--quite late. No, you are still living paycheck to paycheck. Not what I'd call "BACK."
