    Who is joining the $100,000 a year club this year? Who do you work for? Who do you know that pays that? Are you independent? What does it take to make that kind of money? What advice do you give? How much do you expect to end up with?

    I deliver bulk cryogenics, tanker, hazmat (clean), I’m a company driver for Messer Group mostly delivering Nitrogen, Oxygen, and Argon. I would have made 80+ staying mostly local with a dozen or so layovers. I volunteered for a couple of special assignments, 6 weeks in Houston (they flew me home once, I flew my wife down once) 4 weeks in New York State. I did rest and roll, staying in a different hotel each night. When I delivered Argon, filling in for vacations, I was mostly out for the week and home on the weekend. And I crosstrained into CO2 for two weeks. (Had my wife visit for the weekend). Basically, I volunteered for anything that came up because I like to mix it up. I hustled and it paid off.
    By the end of the year I expect to make about 115. Yeah, I know, it’s tacky to talk money but I think everyone working deserves to know where the cheddar is.

    I should do 150K this year, but not all of it is driving income. I've been drawing my retirement from my previous career for the past 15 years.
