Fuel hauling or go for Walmart?

Hi all, im hoping to get some insight from my fellow drivers out there. I'm currently working as a fuel hauler in NJ, making 30 an hour with time and a half after 40 hours. My insurance monthly premiums are 600 with this company. I average about 60 hours a week, gross around 2k a week, with a 40 minute commute home one way.

Recently, i find myself with an opportunity to attend Walmarts week long onboarding and possibly join their fleet if i can manage passing their tests. My question is, is switching it up and going regional a good call? Ive seen online people doing rather well pay wise, and I havnt spoken to a walmart driver that hasnt loved their job.

Im a bit on a fence on the matter due risking the unknown and would like to hear any input to help me seal my decision. My biggest issues with fueling is smelling like fuel all the time (nauseating!) and the job absolutely blows when its raining or innhler city fent walkers want to befriend you at the ass crack of dawn. 😅
