    Since 2012 has ended, I am curious to find out what you think is a good company to make a career out of instead of just a job. I have read evertruckerr's thread on "crete carrier a year in review". He posted actual numbers of what he made for the year. Let's face it, we are all out here to make a living and provide for ourselves or our families. I know that what some might think is a little, others say it is a lot. You can include the cost of benefits, paid time off, time away from home, cost of living on the road and general working conditions.

    It just bothers me to read of how little the otr driver makes over all given all the obsticles in their way. Sad.

    If you can enlighten those that are looking for a career instead of just a job, please help. Post your yearly numbers!

    I'm not looking but there are thousands that are.

    I finished up 2012 making $82,000. I ran teams and was home every weekend. All insurance was paid for by my employer for me and my family as well

    I came back to driving March 3rd 2012, in 9 months I grossed $172,800..net $86,400..that's before taxes..no insurance.

    the prior 3 months I grossed $19,500 (not related to transportation industry)

    Where the heck did all that money go?
