    Once you have been through the whole newbie process and have some experience under your belt what are the potential earnings on the road for someone willing to work? I have heard anything from 30,000 a year to a 100,000 a year and I thought the best thing to do would be to just ask you all that are out there doing this for a living. Thank you in advance for your input.

    You already answered your own question, $30-$100k depending on what your doing.

    Naturally the 100,000 a year jobs sound more appealing so what are they?

    Driving an uparmored semi in IRAQ. A company called KBR. If you sign on for 5 years, youll earn a cool $1,000,000. How does that sound? Pretty easy right? The only thing you have to do is get that load from point A to point B without getting shot at, running over any civilians, or.......getting blown up by an IED. If you think you can do that.....come join us!! Positions opening up everyday!:biggrin_25523:

    I'd say from $25 to $45 grand a year is doable. Yeah, you might find something better, but I'm talking an average.

    Thanks! I think I might have to look into that! It sounds like an adventure!

    But seriously you'd earn every penny of that money doing that!

    How much can one expect to make per month after taxes? I had to file bankruptcy a while back and have to make enough each month to pay that.
