It's a possibility you can gross 85k, but you'd have get as close to 3000 miles per week every week. That won't happen. Just from running miles alone, 75k gross seems more doable, now if you can come across a company that has decent accessory pay to add on to that, then it may help your bottom line. Since you're in Utah, I'd look Pride Transport, Bay and Bay Trucking, and Magnum. Pride is based there and the other 2 always have a lot trucks running through Utah.

Walmart average pay is $110,000.00, but many make much more than that.

Was at the Draper, UT location Thursday morning..delivered 7am this morning (Saturday) Houston..$4,500 less than two days on the truck.
Looks like 53’ doubles. Seen them attached to sleeper trucks also.Chinatown Thanks this. -
There are companies in reefer and dry van you could make 80k but to do that you will have to live on the road..stay out at least a couple of months at a time then go home a few days. Thats the only way you are going to do that if you are up for it. Crete/Schaffer, Marten to name a few comes to mind.
lual Thanks this.
