Max pay in trucking as a company driver.

Owning a business can be an excellent thing. Remember that those of us over 50 get to take advantage of the catch up clause and contribute more every year.

 

This is very true I knew I guy at my old job that was single no kids or deductions. We were talking pay checks one day and I would bring home alot more then him working only five days vs him working a sixth. I was like know wonder you hate six days, your working for free almost!

 

You have 194 other choices. Feel free to find a better one.

 

Your math is so far off. He doesn’t start with $160K and end with $70K. And he’s not paying 33% income tax. Your other comment stating he’s not doing much better than a guy making $120K is off, as well. You’re throwing all kinds of things out there which are untrue.

I don’t disagree with your thoughts on the obscene government spending and the failures of many of the officials. However, this country is NOT a joke. No other country on the planet has what we have. The place isn’t perfect, but it is NOT a joke. It took the effort of a lot of men and women to build this country into what it is, which is NOT a joke.

 

At the end of the day there is no answer that you can give this man that will satisfy he’s original question. But hey maybe he should move to Australia since he drives a holden. Then again he might complain about how long some of their road trains are!

 

I feel like you have a lot of answers as to what makes good money in trucking, yet you’re unwilling to to any of it. I feel like you want someone to come on this thread with a unicorn and say here’s a 150k a year job pulling a dry van a 100 miles a day, in a low cost of living state.

 

Just proved my point I could say I make 300k still wouldn’t matter because “it’s California”

California is a massive state and I don’t live in god forsaken LA. The internet can’t give you answers to everything. As far as how am I doing? Just fine thank you bought my house by 30 got two vehicles, travel trailer, boat, three kids and wife doesn’t have to work.
