Right. Burger King probably won't let you work over 40.
But on an hourly basis the burger flipper might be better paid. A driver that works 70 hrs/ wk for 50 weeks out of a year, with an average income of $42K is making about $12/hr.
I’m thinking about becoming a driver

Try these, but some are out of state. They pay for transportation to get to the school plus hotel room and meals while in school.
I listed them in the order that I personally view them; Jim Palmer being first.
Jim Palmer Trucking - Missoula, Montana
Prime Inc. - Salt Lake City, Utah
Swift - Pomona, California
CRST - Pomona, California

Some drivers I've come across, don't even deserve minimum wage..... just cuz you can fog a mirror doesn't make you a professional
-
That said.... I love the lifestyle..... seems many want to be home and call it a job ( which it is ) BUT, if all you want is a job, go find one that pays you 45k ++++ with no college, or tech school.... become a plumber, or an electrician, etc..... -

i (think) however, the wage is at least a bit above minimum here. -
You guys saying $50,000 your 1st yr is impossible are crazy. I made over $60k my 1st yr with Millis and was home at least 5 days every 2.5 weeks . Hell Millis has a $50,000 yr GUARANTEE for drivers fresh out of their school. Fresh out of school students make .43 a mile with their trainer and get paid for every mile the truck drives (teaming is not mandatory) until they hit 15k miles. Then they get their own truck at .43 a mile. Hell at .43 a mile you dont even need to average 2500miles a week to make $50k a yr...and if OTR you WILL average at least 2500miles a week starting out.
