So I have just started the driving portion of my training this past weekend after driving the truck around the yard and practicing straight back maneuvers I have to give my season veterans credit. It is much more difficult than what it looks driving an 80,000 lb vehicle and anybody with a classic a driver's license especially my over the road guys deserve a medal of honor as well as a huge pay raise. I say we all start a petition no over-the-road truck driver bring home less than $5,000 a week. Considering what we do I would say that's the low end of the scale.
By the way I take my test around May 6th wish me luck

Assume all ownership costs and responsibilities, buy a truck and trailer, book your own freight, and you'll bring home 5k per week, no problem. Otherwise what you're saying is a company door slammer should make the same amount as a brain surgeon.

$5k per week would be a quick way to end the “driver shortage” in one hell of a hurry.
