Honest opinions please

K shoot straight with me Boys n girls Im looking at pulling the trigger on a ‘12 Ram SRW and a used 35+5 I’ve had my CDL since 10/05 but never hot shot Backstory : I drive school bus PT currently ( in my 10th yr ) I also have a small dumpster rental business but it’s very slow this time of year So I need to add something through the winter months ( if I have to quit the bus so be it ) I was thinking NON CDL just to simplify things and keep me closer to home I have kids so no OTR weeks atta Time F that. Is it worth it ? What load boards are worthy and actually pay out ? How where or what are you hauling and your average take home? I’m upper central Midwest so I’d cover WI,MN, IA, ND,SD etc Truck is a 2500 mega cab 8ft bed with 200k but BEAUTIFUL and well kept TIA
