My husband wants to be a truck driver.?
I am a truck drivers wife and I rode in the truck with him for a year and a half. I know quite a bit about it, so this answer may be long. Going through a company is a good way for your husband to get his CDL, but do not expect much of a paycheck at first, my husband did the same thing and when he started driving they only paid him about 25 cents per mile (as most companies do) till he got some experience then it increased about every 3 months, but at first he will only make about $250 a week which is rough. Another thing is most compaines want you to work for them about a year before you can leave no strings attached. As far as home time it depends on where you live, it is a good idea to find a company that has routes close to your house, if you can find that he can probably be home 3 days for every two weeks he stays out, but if the company does not travel through the area much it may be 3 weeks or a month before he can get home, so be careful of that. Must compaines have a one week paid vacation after you worked there for 1 year (I believe this is what Swift does) Most of the companies like Swift have good insurance, depending on the plan you get expect them to take out about 50-80 dollars a week for a family health plan usually something like Blue Cross Blue Shield or another big name insurance company. Really there is no schedule with truck driving which you will soon learn, but for more home time and a better schedule tell your husband to check out a dedicated route with Swift, if they have one where you live, then he could stop by the house a few times a week usually. As far as the baby, just make sure you have a great cell phone plan with a lot of minutes to talk to him while he is gone, also a laptop is great in a truck, because all the truckstops have wireless internet and he could e mail you a lot, just try to explain to her that daddy will be home soon and he is doing what he has to for the family. After your husband has been working for a while the pay will get better, my husband made around 33-36 cents per mile, which added up to about 700 dollars a week after taxes, the money is good, it is just really hard starting out, just don't get frustrated, the longer you stay with it the easier it becomes, and the money gets better too. Good Luck.
Can a Game Warden come onto private property?
My family owns property in Georgia. My uncle was down there one weekend, just hanging out doing some work around the property gettign ready for the upcoming season. He was at our cabin and heard a truck pull up, when he looked out saw that it was the game warden, introduced himself as the new warden in the area. Said that he saw our gate was open and thought he would take a ride down. Can they just come onto private land like that, our gate is usually closed and kept locked and is clearly marked with no trespassing signs.
Whats the biggest animal I could Hunt with a homemade bow and arrow?
You can take dowel rods or saplings or straight sticks, preferably hazel, oak, or other hardwoods like maple even and skin them of their bark. Cut them to the right length for you bow, and then cut a notch in the top and bottom and glue split the feathers horizontally. Then, put an arrow head in the bottom and tie and glue it on with the inner strand of paracord and then you are done. That's how you make an arrow
How much should I spend on my son's first car?
Hey everyone! So, in February, my son will turn 16. Here, he can legally get his license soon after that. That being said, I want to make his 16th bday present something special (A CAR)! My first car cost $4,000 (back in 1990ish). So, i don't really know what to spend... He is accustomed to a luxurious life, but I don't want to make him a spoiled brat. He has said multiple times that he wants an SUV. So, I looked around for safe vehicles. I would like to get him a 2014 Cadillac Escalade. Of course, I will not get the top version. A dealer close to me has one for $62,000. But, I think I could get it for around $56,000. Is that TOO much? He has a 4.1 GPA in high school, and has kept one girlfriend for 1 year. He has never really disrespected me or his mother. We didn't spend that much on his brothers truck ($30,000), and he rebelled and got his girlfriend pregnant. I don't want a repeat! Let me know your opinions on what we should spend... SERIOUS answers only please.
