34cpm? Alot of these big mega carrier training companies start at 25cpm! Thats why I wrote out the big long thread about local jobs. I highly recommend it. Dont be a statistic!Kabokokka23 said: ↑I woke up excited to check the forum, I did not expect 3 pages!
Okay guys, I will give you a little more info, oh and by the way I aprechiete all the feed back, ALL of it. And who the HELL is ABBA? My mind went to Jessica Alba
Anywho, I'm about 17 credits into my first year of a COMMUNITY college, dorms and all that... thats maybe in the future, and I doubt I'd do it because of A) All the debt B) I could get a quality job with just certificates (A+, Network +, CCNA etc)
But the thing is, home life is stressing me out like no other, I find my self drinking beer as much as I can to get through the days of just hearing my mother or father speak, heh. (Don't think I'm an alcoholic, I'm in great shape and work out 5 days a week... something that will be depressing to give up, but.... dumbbells do fit inside the rig
)
Umm... Yeah, why are people laughing at the 200-300$ a day thing?
That's 2000 miles a week, for 200$ a day, sure that's before taxes but still.
Can I not earn a good living for a 21-22 or 23 year old driving? You guys are scaring me with the 34 cent a mile thing, I am thinking of going to a truck stop and talk with some pros face to face as well.
Btw, I think I may have landed a full time jog at HHGregg yesterday, yay

Friends.... they're all stoners, I don't want to hang around those dbags
I don't think any ###### would take a 26c a mile gig, that's just embarrassing, unless you're some illiterate illegal immigrant pos, than ya, do that dirty work son. Why would I do laundry at a laudry mat when I can just take 24 different shirts with me? I'd have a top gaming laptop as well, with internet, so no.... games/movies at my disposal.
Tell me more about the Gov paying for school

Do your homework newbie. That's what alot of newbie training companies start out at. Good luck fitting your 24 shirts in your tiny little trk closet(lol). Hope your wrap it before you tap it.(that homeless looking driver parked next to u was just with that Lizzie b4 you) so how did it taste? Lol
The Internet for your comp will only be worth a crap in bigger towns and cities.(you spend a lot of nights in B.F.E. as a driver) newbie- illegal immigrant = about the same when in the industry. You don't have to get on the offenseive kid, been here done this. Anymore to add?Click to expand... -
And with your math witha more that generous newbie rat of 32 cpm. 2000 at 32cpm = 640. I don't know why tax bracket you think you are in now but i usually do around 18% to get a ball park. Which is 115 coming out so you are left with 525. Insurance around 40 a week. Now you are down to 485$. Average 150 to 200 week to live otr. Well now you are at 335$ to 385$. that's really balling huh!! Go to school!!
Voyager1968, wannaBTrucker, U4EA and 1 other person Thank this. -
$50 out of 600 for taxes, try again. That's only 8% it's more likely to be on the low side 15% or even higher like 20% and as for weekly, yea you'll get paid weekly but you have to figure this isn't a monday through friday 9 to 5 job at 40 hours a week. Look at some of the other post from some of the new guys making 350 a week after taxes and living on that would be hard for most

I feel responsible for things I never wanted to be responsible for,
I'm sorry God, I'm sorry mother
This is just another,
Hopeless rhyme to pass the time, drop a line
Stressed out, fine
I swear I feel like a dime a dozen, but inside I'm torn to bits
Illiterete men must have better grits, hits
Of acid, blowing your mind till you're gone,
I can't feel me, because I feel you, its so true
I'm getting emotional now dude,
Hey, I'm sorry, Vic, don't worry
I'm sorry
I let you go before you started, one two nine that line was ####### retarded
I'm sorry my lyrics don't sound good, and they sound worse
When they're coming out the words of a guy that is a #####,
One two, They're so ####### juicy
Ha, a song about a man, one two I hope you understand,
Dad, I'm sorry , i'm going now, don't worry
I let you down pops I'm sorry,
I'm a failure in your eyes and in mine I'm worse,
Because you haven't seen the things I've done...
Dad, I ####### killed you and brought you back,
That's some kinda #### that'll make a fat chick have a heart attack,
Yack, I'm joking as I'm working,
This is bad man it's not working,
My soul is bonking, I need help now someone please,
Can you hear me out there, I think I have a venerial disease
But other than that, no. -

I was a signature away from doing it, now I'm kinda like EIIIHIIHIHIEIE, na mean?
I always wanted to be a Cop, Or Fire Fighter... Hmm.. -
Obvious troll is obvious.
