"High-paying jobs found in trucking industry"

Comparable to what? And perhaps more importantly how do you compare being away from home for long periods of time, or sitting empty waiting for a load?

 

Can you really use the words "High Paying" and "Trucking Jobs" in the same sentence?

 

The figure of 40K-80K is a reality.............

If you work for a decent outfit..............

 

just stay away from the bottom feeder training companys--and do your job and you can easily make 60 +-

 

Yes 40k-80k is a reality if you are hauling heavy or specialized freight.

They forgot to mention all of the hours wasted at shippers.

 

It's not easy money. Sorry to say.

 

If you live in your truck and give up your apartment or house you can 'make money' (save money). Less overhead = higher savings ! Of course we all can't do that but I might do it for a year or two and sock my money away. I literally saved... in the bank.... $15,000 in 12-14 months time back in 2001.

 

i never said it was easy--and no you dont have to do flat or heavy for that either
you have to work and not sit at home or in t/s
doing ltl you can make good money--take out a 500 miler with 6 drops at 25 bucks a drop--then repeat the same thing the next day going back---if you depend on mileage only then yes its not as good

 

Dry van.........

Home every weekend...........



If you aren't making 40K, why are you doing this ?????
