    I dont want to stay in food service, but i might have to if that's where the money is at- talked to a couple Sysco drivers, 2 of them made 75k, one made 65k. Talked to a couple U.S Foods drivers, average 70k. And one Reinhart driver made 100k. The job is back-breaking, i know, i currently deliver for a mom and pops company averaging 18 stops per day, each two-wheeler load averages about 200 lbs. I see construction workers everyday, i wonder how much those CDL-drivers for road constructions are making? How much are those crane operators making?

    Not planning to go over-the-road, i know that team driving and being a trainer might net you 100k, but i'm looking for local work. How about beer/liquor delivering? I love the monday-thursday schedule, but i doubt those guys are making anywhere near 100k.

    So where else are all the 100k jobs at?

    Well - OTR team for ODFL, that's my suggestion shot.

    Good luck and tell us what you find.

    Ltl line haul after a few years, car haul, tanker, they are out there. I've been close, but not hit that mark. 80 is much more attainable.

    Guy walks into a crowded bar up in the Klondike during the gold rush days and shouts, "Hey!! Where's all the gold?"

    What kind of answer do you think he got?

    Over a million truckers working for under 100K and you think that just because you make a post on here that the tooth fairy is going to take you by the hand to paradise?

    Someone posted on here a while ago about truck drivers giving rides to people for a small fee.
    Maybe Uber will offer an app for truck drivers to pick up passengers.
    Haha.

    Private fleet, lots of seniority, oh and a stellar work ethic. My trainer at current gig grossed $110K last year.
