    I think it goes wayyyy higher. Look at any stock from the past that had huge, really huge gains.

    At any point you could have said 'its too high'. That same stock doubled, then doubled again, then doubled once more. Then tripled.

    Same goes for real estate. Buy high and sell higher.

    $1800/week is the new standard for solo OTR staying out all week. W2 Pay.

    Anybody making less than is getting screwed and taken advantage of.

    Addendum: that's with 3+ years of exp and a clean DL. Plus little or nothing on your PSP.

    If you have that you can basically name your salary in this market. And if someone tries to jerk you around tell them to go F themselves in so many words. Then hang up the phone.

    Trust me it works. I have done it.

    Staying out all week? Absolutely.

    And with my 12+ years at the time, I was able to get a job where I now make $2000+ in five days. The jobs are out there.

    And I say this to be encouraging to you new guys. There's nothing I would find more crass and boring than to brag about whatever I'm doing with my life online.

    All I'm doing in my spare time is cutting ceramic tiles for my floor. Lol

    I’ve been on and off driving for almost 10 years. Mainly just local and regional. I haven’t been OTR in many years. I’m thinking about going back to it though. If I do I’m going to need atleast 1500 plus a week. I’m bringing home 900 a week now after taxes and I’m local and home every night.

    1500 per week gross is achievable doing most non specialized OTR. My average is just slightly below that right now, but I don't do a lot of miles, less than I would like to anyway.
