Truck Driver getting screwed.

I've been with my company since 2018. Started driving for them, moved into the office for 6 months during the pandemic to help with dispatching, and then went back on the road after realizing I was hemorrhaging money. I came back on a contract we had with a specific customer making a nice salary of $1350 a week and sometimes just being done late afternoon having the whole evening free. We get pulled off the contract but I stay local at a lower salary of $1125 a week but now I'm working 55-60 hours a week and it's starting to take a toll. I asked for a raise and my boss gave me an whopping $5 extra a day and expected me to be happy with that after I told him I was not getting what I felt I deserved. Now they're telling me I can't park by my house…


I've been with my company since 2018. Started driving for them, moved into the office for 6 months during the pandemic to help with dispatching, and then went back on the road after realizing I was hemorrhaging money. I came back on a contract we had with a specific customer making a nice salary of $1350 a week and sometimes just being done late afternoon having the whole evening free. We get pulled off the contract but I stay local at a lower salary of $1125 a week but now I'm working 55-60 hours a week and it's starting to take a toll. I asked for a raise and my boss gave me an whopping $5 extra a day and expected me to be happy with that after I told him I was not getting what I felt I deserved. Now they're telling me I can't park by my house anymore because it's not working for them. That means I'll have to commute 70 miles both ways to an from our home yard. I'm at a crossroads and I really don't know what to do. I've been doi f this for 10 years and I don't have much skills other than driving. I don't know if I can afford to start a new career and be able to support myself on less pay. Liquidating my assets is a last resort, but I'll do it if I need to to get the extra funds. I'm stressing out over this. I don't even know what kind of advice I need.
