The six-figure club.

Ended 2023 $106,000 +. 3 year company driver, running regional Ut, Id, NV... First year $62k, 2nd 82k..... Working a crap ton of hours by my own choice. Small (2 local drivers, 3 regional) agriculture commodity transport company running belt trailers, and so take advantage of the "ag exemption". But I appreciate good pay, new trucks, great mechanics, and an even better dispatcher/boss. I was an Engineer (fire engine driver) / Paramedic for 25 years and worked a lot of overtime but never broke the 6 figures. This is much easier job and love that with the right company I can work my ### off too support my family in this #### economy. Especially with being relatively local and having the flexibility I still get home 2 to 4 nights per week (even if only for a few hours). I have always been a fan of being able to find a job or business where you get paid by what you put into it and not a set salary or set hours. I finally found it. If you haven't yet, it's there just go find it and be willing to work for it. I started with no tractor-trailer or manual non-synced shifting experience having spent most my life driving fire engines and ladder trucks. But I knew I had a work ethic that surprises people...... And my company gave me the shot...... Now I'm the lead driver, have a new 2025 Kenworth W990 and am grossing $8000 to $12,000 monthly.

 

this week starts .798cpm and $34.40hr. from .77cpm and $32.75.
they push hsa , which after deductable they cover everything.

 

Sounds AMAZING. I'm happy you're in a great place

 

should have included the the ppo plan is decent and a reasonable cost. 401k and hsa plan is managed by fidelity(very happy with them.) company 401k match of 50% up to 6%. seeing a 3k plus deposit every march for the match and we receive a profit sharing check twice a year. Jan/Jun comes right before Xmas and is the smaller of the 2. Final check for a given year is handed out in March after accounting does their thing.

 

How you boys looking right now? I'm at almost 42K gross

 

I’m only at 35k I’ve been off for over a month for a knee replacement. Not going back till mid to late June.

 

35K and off a month is GOOD tho. I've been working a bunch of 6 days because I've been bored at home lol.

 

55k, right on track so far.

 

63k as of May 10th with very few extra days.
