Dont forget you will be getting 4 hours OT a day, and no, you will not "lose it all to taxes". I paid 35ish grand in tax last year, definitely didn't lose it all in taxes. None of what I am talking about is rig work either. Get on a rig, you will actually have to bust your ass all day, get on with a major construction company, and you wont.

my buddy is a head of HR for JP driver, we worked it out and long term sure grinding out OT you will make money, but only because of the hours your working and keep in mind your not making money for the 7-10 days your off, so it's great to talk about making all this dough for 2 on 1 off, but if your clearing 3000-4000 in those 2 weeks, that means thats what you are making in a month due to time off
not that great if you ask me.
EDIT* although like i said, it is worth it if you get in on a camp, because your not spending anything and your getting LOA, if your living out then your not making shit in the long run.
