10 day Orientation Grad hits the road in Big Red Truck.

Hey all,

I have decided to go with WS myself. I will be finished with trucking school on Monday and should be starting WS on November 1st. I also may be running teams with a fellow student that finishes up on Monday as well. My question is how many miles should I expect to do right out of orientation? Is 12k realistic? Won't be able to take care of my family with anything less......

 

Teams Generally see more miles than that, thats a normal month for a single.

 

yea but 12 is for a single seat, not a team, teams see alot more miles than that.

just be ready because when you go team your a priority driver, which means you run ALOT. I have talked to plenty of teams, they make massive cash but they dont get home as much, but also by choice and location. But at the same time they are making more cash but its split amongst the truck, so whoever you team with you will be splitting a check with.

 

Okay thanks. I am waiting to see what my boy is going to do once we finish school tomorrow. I just wanted to have a few options. Worst case scenario I know I should be able to make decent money if I end up going solo. I will keep you all posted with the outcome.

 

Whoa, sorry to read that, I wish you the best!

 

Oh man I didnt see this comming, I knew you said you were thinking about WA, and I know you were hurt but this is left field man. I hope all goes well with ya, keep in touch, and I mean by phone not via the forum lol..

Let me know if there is anything I can help ya with.

 

Ditto man....
