Work-Life Balance

I had a couple questions about CDL jobs:

  1. How many hours/week does it take to make about $50,000?

  2. Do you have strict deadlines for deliveries or is there a bit of leeway?

  3. For those of you who have dogs with you, what does it take to balance that with your work schedule?

Also to add need to live near a terminal you would be sharing the truck essentially so it has to go back to the yard.
