    Wondering..

    Are there any company driver jobs out there where you can gross $100k+ a year and be home every weekend?
    If so, hauling what and how much experience required?

    Soo many crappy jobs posts, lets see some of top tier jobs out there.

    Those jobs are definitely out there, but never advertise. I call those drivers "Elmer Fudd" drivers because they are SHHHH, VEWY QWIET about it.

    A Few fuel haulers for the major oil companies make that. And you are home every night . But those jobs are disappearing fast.


    Common tank carriers locally are in the 60-80k range...

    Why $100k? Why not $110k? Hell, why not $130k and home every night and paid chauffeur to/from truck [who also performs the PTI for you and makes you a sandwich for while you wait], and 100% paid family health insurance, with zero deductible, from day 1? Geez. Santa Clause really does exist?

    A few days ago it was someone asking for $80k driving job out of school (or something near that). Today, it's a $100k out of school. We really are raising an entirely new generation with entirely different attitudes and expectations.

    I didn't post "$100k out of school". That would be redicuous.
    Just wondering what and where the really good company jobs are and what the requirements are if such does even exist.
