    Any decent jobs out here a guy could pocket 3K in a month every month? No hazmat or tanker with an auto restriction.
    I’m sick to my stomach. I averaged my monthly take home to less than 2K a month.
    Before taxes I made 39K.
    Now that I bought a pickup and am looking for a house 500$ a week pocket isn’t gonna work anymore.
    Edit:House is in the boot heel of Missouri. Home time weekly would be amazing but it’s not a must.

    Who you working for now.
    So we know to stay away from the 500 bucks a week job
    You have now.

    Are you home weekly now or OTR.
    That's at least 300 dollars a week difference.

    CFI it isn’t I make 500$ a week, it’s that I’ll make 800+ for two weeks then 200$ the other two. Nah I’m out generally 25+ days.
    At this point to move up in life I need 3K + a month.
     
    Coffey Thanks this.

    I can't comprehend the 200 bucks a week for 2 weeks
    Out of the month for a OTR driver anywhere.
    So I'm gonna leave that alone.
    That's one days work. Unless your sitting 5 or 6 days
    A week for free, you get more than that in layover pay.

    The 800 a week should be your slow weeks.
    Is this normal,or just thru the slow months.
    December,January,February, and halfway through march.

    I pull reefers but still use my hazmat and tanker endorsements on occasion. My weekly before tax pay is 1200 to 1400 bucks plus I average around 1000 dollars a month for my bonus here at magnum LTD. They want you out three weeks minimum though.

    Sounds like your bringing home a lot more than
    500 bucks a week. Unless you got child support or
    Something else coming out of your check.
    Your making about the same as everybody else.

    12 to 14 hundred a week gross, plus 1000 bucks a month
    In bonuses. There's no way that adds up too bringing
    Home 500 bucks a week.
    But either way, where do you live.

    Which company do you drive for?
    Milk hauling pays real well, but you need tanker endorsement.
