I made 1000+ before i started training. You will start out around 700-900 as you get used to running your own truck. As you get a few months under your belt you should be able to bring home 1000 regualrly.

O yea, im a north east driver

lol i see ur in philly, when are you starting otr with your trainer

Im planning to start the 17th got my approval, just making for sure that the family is going to be cool with everything before I commit. I see you are in Philadelphia too. Are you a trainer? How has your home time been? Do you pretty much get home every weekend? Do you by any chance get home once in a while during the weeks? Thanks for the info on the pay glad to hear I can make some money with them!

I can get home every week-end,, and have whenever i wanted to. I prefer to stay out lately and make more money since i dont have a wife and kids. That being said, you will generaly get home for 36-48 hours every week-end if you want to be home. I rarely get home mid week. (I think twice in 1.5 years i got home for mid week dinner) We dont have much freight in philly but a lot that can pass though to get you home on week-end. If you get home every week-end you will do a lot of driving from MA area to western OH. I am a trainer but am probably not going to be available when you get done in DSM. (ill have another trainee already) Feel free to PM me if you have more questions. I'll be home this week-end if ya wanna see a TMC truck lol.

Oh just wondering, do you actually live in phila.? Where do you park when come home, Best I found so far that they will accept is Bensalem and I have to pay for it. Its not bad but was just curious if you parked somewhere free and maybe closer to me.
