I Made $18k My First Year

Do not do dollar general. Consider learning something else besides driving a box around as well.

 

He is doing great on $235 per day! If he's running on recaps and doing 7 day work weeks, that's $1,645 per week. If he's doing 6 day work weeks and taking a 34 it's $1,410. Good money either way! Although maybe freight is just booming now I don't know (been out of work for a bit).

I went to the Marten website. It looks pretty good. They have a guaranteed minimum of $1,250 per week. Which comes out to 65k per year but then you're not getting paid on hometime (I'm assuming). I'm wondering how many miles are needed per week to get that $1,250 per week minimum (I know Shipex and Great Plains out of ND and a few other companies have guaranteed minimums too).

I'de be worried about forced chaining or forced to drive during the winter time to get that guaranteed minimum. Or if they have to start the work day exactly once their 10 hour break is up each and every day. Normally I think those guaranteed minimums have stipulations like that (could be wrong though I don't know).

This is what it said on Marten's website it looks like a good company.
