Where is the money in trucking?

I’m planning to start my own small transportation company. What is the monthly salary for an experienced truck driver in California, USA? If it’s too expensive, I may look for other options.

 

Better start looking at the other options. It’s very foolish to start a “transportation company” without being a driver yourself. You had better be your own first driver, and add a second one later if you can make any money.

 

I would skip trucking and just start as a multi-millionaire, the pay is better and the office is more comfortable.

 

i was going to type a lot, but NAHHHH, lot all energy. good luck

 

im just glad im retired.

 

Find a good job and stick it out. My boss just told me today I was getting a raise. Didn’t even ask for one. He just said they were happy with me. It would be hard for me to do better and I’ve been with them for only two years. I’ve tried to do a good job tho.

 

awesome, keep up the great work.

 

Same with us.

Could have been a bit higher, but there are no rules here due to our hiring standards, watching the market volumes and the incoming dot/fmcsa Crack downs, we'll still do better than 90% of other drivers.

Give and take, till we dont have psychos flipping the economy each week.
