    No.

    Most experienced drivers don't/won't make that much.

    Your marital status does NOT affect how much your annual driving income will be.

    It will GREATLY AFFECT how much of said income you will get to KEEP, however....:p :D

    $3000 divided by 4 weeks is $750 a week.
    Should be able to do much better than that.

    Sure you can. Let's do the math.
    Say you make .45 a mile at 400 miles per day x 6. That's gross $1080.
    30% tax deductions = $1080 x 70%
    That's $756 a week take home × 4 = $3024 if you calculate 28 day months, even though all but February are 30 or 31 day.
    Note: I kept pay and mileage low because you specified new driver.

    I've always lived in states with no income tax, so that helps a lot also.
