    I just heard through a friend of a friend that somebody's husband works for a company in the vicinity of Harrisburg or Carlisle Pennsylvania and he's home everyday at 6 p.m. and he grosses $2,500 per week as a company driver. Supposedly it is a union job but I don't know the name of the company and I was wondering if anybody had any idea which company it was?

    Considering I got accustomed to $6,000 a week driving someone else's truck $2,500 a week doesn't seem like much but I'm sure there are jobs out there that pay that that amount.

    If you owned your own truck that was easily doable back in 2012 hauling crude oil in North Dakota. Until diesel goes back to $4.50 a gallon
    You might as well stay put doing whatever you're doing.

    Since the majority of drivers have experienced nothing but bottom feeder wages It must seem impossible to find a job like that but if you look hard enough they are out there.
    99% of the time it will involve relocating closer to a job like that.
    If I live near Watford City North Dakota I'd be working for Tesoro as a local driver grossing $2,700 a week and being home everyday for 10 hours but since I'm stuck in the armpit of America on the East Coast my options are much more limited but I know there are decent jobs out here somewhere. I have a job better than most people have ever experienced but I'm always looking for something better that pays more.

    Hope you saved some of that 300k/year. Nice job, Driver.

    Our top guys do 100k + per year, so I'm sure they get $2500 weeks occasionally. But I'd say those jobs are few and far between, check out Keen in Carlisle, they're a specialized carrier. Perhaps they pay well, I don't know.
