    If he averages 2500 miles a week, he should be able to gross closer to 50... Plus Prime has a bonus for fuel efficiency, accessory pay, etc.

    Are you implying that 2500 miles a week is not a realistic number for a truck driver to hit, or that my math is wrong? Talking gross, not net.

    I work for Con-way Freight on a Dedicated route.Run about 500 miles a night round trip and work on our Dock about 2 hours a Night.Make .53cpm and $22 an hour on the Dock.If u can tolerate starting out Low man on the Totem pole and just hangin around for a Couple years bouncing around on different shift then it will start to get better.Really depends on the Terminal you work at and What job positions they have available.Made $87,000 this year.Not the Best money at my Terminal but not the Worst by Far.Workin the Linehaul shifts pay better than being in the City routes.They are hourly and work 9-12 hours a day.They will still make $50,000-$63,000 a year.We are home every night even though we may work up to 14 hours a day.Especially on the Night time Lunehaul runs

    Boy, they sure do a great deal of work to make it look like you are making a large sum of money.

    Take the gross and reduce it by the after tax deductions and shows almost the social security wages. Difference of 4,000 or so.

    I am looking to start a new job for the new year, for you guys that are making 65-70 plus a year I sure would like to know where you guys are working. I'm a twelve plus year driver with tank and hazmat / TWIC card and prefer to pull tankers or flats.

    speak for yourself. I've posted my stub in another thread, and I'm actually fairly competent with a calculator.

    I'm also smart enough to avoid per diem.
