is there money in being a truck driver

nope..work for nothing alot too. If you're talking about otr that is.

 

You can make a living, yes...but you'll never get rich at it.

 

Define good money ??

I make the same amount now as I did 3 years ago. Unfortunately I don't work for the government....so I haven't had a cost of living raise in over 10 years.

And the cost of living has increased 30% in the past 2 years alone.

3 years ago....I was sitting fat. Now I'm just sitting.

Still making decent money. But then I have no real bills to talk about.

That answer your question?

 

There is good money in trucking.. The guys complaining about not making any money have no one to blame but themselves.

 

I seem to recall....yes its on the Conway thread. Breaking down rate of pay and hours.

Poor guy was putting in 14 hours a day. And made less.

There is money here. But it's up to you how much you want to make.

While I may make the same as I did 3 years ago. I now work 14 on and 7 off. Instead of OTR and out 4-6 weeks, or regional with 34 hours at home a week.
