20c/mile new driver. Worth it?

K, not trying to be an #######, but you're falling for some bad #### man; for real. I'm pretty sure I know who you're talking about, and its gonna end VERY badly.

 

Definitely be a employee first. Any company offering you a “business” is going to run you like a raped ape until you are so far in the red you have to walk away from your failed business venture

 

Move to Michigan. Become a Milkman

 

20000 miles per week, is not possible.

I thank you for this post , Im in Alberta as well and looking to train to get a Class 1 . Gentlemen thank you so much for the replies . Jazz1 , .. well if i take off my shirt , the zoo automatically has to do an inventory of the gorillas . If it was not for you and BigHoss , I can foresee me being part of the remake of " Treachery and Greed on The Planet of The Apes " . They would have to edit scenes so they can get an " R " rating rather then an "x"

Noobtr may I ask which school you went? , Ive seen Gennaro on my FB feeds .

 

OK one thing you're going to need as a truck driver is a basic understanding of arithmetic.
24 hrs/day times 7 days/week = 168 hours / week
20,000 miles/week divided by 168 hours/week = 119 miles per hour.
Maybe you misunderstood?

As a reference for comparison, most rookie drivers at big carriers doing solo OTR average between 2,000 and 2,500 miles per week. Nobody does 20K miles per week.

And I wouldn't roll over and fart for twenty cents a mile.

 

Im in bizarro world and unless that things got wings and flys at 500mph u aint getting 20k miles. You probably wouldnt pass a drug test if you think thats worth considering at 20cpm. Probably couldnt pass a blood test neither.
