    From what i read of the 92 pages of Gunner's posts it seems that he was home on most of every weekend, rand pretty hard but his average seemed to fluctuate between 8-1200 take home weekly. i dont think he ever made under 800 aside from when he was out a few days due to his truck being broken down and waiting on a part.

    The area you live in and the way you run will be a factor in how much you make per week. It may also determine your home time. Historically during the winter and early spring months flatbed freight and rates drop. As well as your pay!
     
    Orangees and Erik Blazer Thank this.

    If you are smart and have a good trainer you will easily make at least 900 bucks a week take home i am home every weekend just about and when i run solo i bring home 1200 or so . when i have a trainee i usually bring home a bit more .

    but how you run will depend on what you make

    There is a difference between a statement and a question.

    I was expecting a steak but was presented a hamburger patty.
