How Much Can I Make Truck Driving?

yes florida sucks for trucking

 

work for micy D's for a cpl weeks look at your pay check and subtract 5% and you will find out how much you make for driving a truck. If you think about all the hours time away from home and the extras you do. then the micy D's check may not look so bad at least your at home and spending time with your family.

 

Anything more than the weekly advance money is a bonus. Seriously $700 a week is the norm if you can hold the steering wheel 10 a day. I've never made less than $600 and my max as a company driver has been about $1200. Anything under $600 and you're either at the casinos, tricking off with the lot lizards, yacking at the truckstops, or one lazy #######! Just work smart and everything else will workout. Hope this helps!

 

$150/wk?...You must be one of those biggins! LOL If I spend $15/day, I've spent a lot and I don't cook or carry any kind of food on truck...

 

i was counting smokes inthat estimate
i almost never eat in a truck stop-----15 a day---what the hell are you anorexic?
at least 2 coffee--and say 4 drinks wether water coke-or what ever--something to snack on--that is already already 10 bucks--add 2 packs of smokes and we are over 24 before i eat---and i only eat once a day---
biguns is right--i gained 20 lbs since i have not been driving---but lost 5 or so and now about 175--still need to drop maybe 10

 

Actually (imagine veddy tony British accent) old boy, you are not permitted to make money. It's called counterfeiting dont you know. Highly illegal and very bad form old chap. Toodles.

 

Maybe its just me, but if you have two brothers in trucking and one is OTR, I would be asking them if you can team up with one so you can make some cash and he will make more also... And that way you know who your getting in the truck with...
