Congrats on the potential new job, Patrick! $35K increase with potential headroom is pretty significant by any standard. 50 cents/mile isn't too bad, but could be higher (I've had 2 jobs that paid per mile also and they both paid more). However, I'm sure the company took into consideration the long distance driving, which saves them money but doesn't put as much into your pocket. Keep in mind that traveling weekly (KS <--> TX) will rack up miles like a b1tch and a LOT sooner than you think. Lastly, per diem means "per day."

 

Ya kinda figured that on the per diem

 

Ya kinda figured that on the per diem thing but I've honestly never had to use the phrase before lol. I'll find out all the details on Sunday and if it's what I've been told it is by his wife then it's a no brainer. I'll definately be buying a second vehicle to do the drive in once I get some cash in my pockets and pay off most if not all of my debt which isn't too terribly much. Only about 15k left to pay off including the car, credit cards and my student loans. I definately don't wanna put those miles on my z as it already has over 127k on it.
His wife told me $100 per diem, for food and lodging so that would make a lot more sense being per day for both of those. Probably still be a bit out of pocket though but for such a large increase in pay I really don't care much. She said that after three to five years I can expect to make as much as $16k per month which may be high hopes but hell I'd be happy with half that lol. I'll keep you guys posted on it. The guy is also an avid outdoorsman and hunter and would like me to go on a hunting trip with him sometime this year.

 

On the mileage thing, my current company is the worst I've ever seen at only 47 cents per mile and that's only for the guys that work in the office. I don't get shiet but a thanks for being on time lol. I've actually taken a small pay cut to come back to this company after my little fiasco a few months ago where I left and then had to come back. I lost my supervisor position and all that nifty crap.

 

Congrats Pat ! 0
