What is good pay? And what’s fair now in trucking?

Thanks for the detailed response. I appreciate your advice. I think I’m on track for pretty much what you’re suggesting. I’ll be going out for about 10-12 weeks starting this week, then mini vacation for a long week. Repeat that 2 more times and I’ll be past my year mark. I’ll be getting all my endorsements done when I take time in 10 weeks. Hazmat fingerprints are already done. The job I’m at now pays pretty well. I was very happy to get accepted. It’s at 79-89k and only required 6 months experience. The truck they gave me is not great but it runs, and has a fridge. No APU tho. I’m planning on getting into fuel or oil I think. I’d really like to be able to make 150k a year not owning any equipment. I don’t care where it is what shift which company type of equipment or anything really. Just want to get fat sacks regularly for a few years at least, then I’ll try to go local or something else where I have a good life balance. Maybe Walmart.

 

Yeah it’s probably a little bit uppity and extra. But hey I’ll pretend to be as safe as they want me to pretend for an extra 30 or 40 grand a year!

 

That’s sweet, some serious moolah!

 

Mandatory on all pre trips, apply hair gel and remove stray nose hairs.

I haven’t figured out exactly where I’d like to work long term but I’m sure open to just about anything. California wouldn’t be my first choice. I’m hoping there’s a need in the oil fields and I can go drag a camper every out to the middle of nowhere and haul for them. Water oil fuel whatever gets me paid!

 

Lmao! Accountability! Oh no! Run! Hahaha hey it can’t be that bad, they have a lot of guys who talk highly of that job.
