    What kind of money can I expect to bring in weekly if I am hauling flatbed (PGT) and getting 25% as a company driver. I am looking for net pay. I will not be taking the company insurance or any other deductions if that matters. Just looking for a ballpark figure. Let me know if more info is needed to answer this. Thanks in advance

    It's all going to depend on the rate the company gets on their loads. If they are getting good rates, then you'll see some decent paychecks, and if they are getting crap rates, then your paychecks won't look as good. I can say, based on experience that getting percentage works out to better pay. My hubby runs on percentage, and we have done the comparison . . . he's getting better pay on percentage than he would on mileage.

    Yeah Well, you know how that ugly thing they call inflation keeps bumping things up without notice.

    I would say 500 a month for me I will not stay in the business long. The training pay is 700 a week so hopefully my driving day will be higher. I am not lazy and work my ##### off so hopefully I do better than that dude in the video.

    You should actually do pretty decent, and definitely get more than $500 a month! Should be close to double that per week honestly. My hubby pulls between $700 and $1000 a week depending on what he's running . . . he runs reefer . . . . The last couple pay checks have been a bit light, but I just had surgery the middle of September, so he was home with me and then running short hops until the very end of September.
