Newbie here.

Are you going into Class-A tractor-trailers?
Where is your location, city/state? Need to know hiring area you live in.
$550.00 a week is easily doable.

Hazmat/tanker you can bring home around a grand a week and it sets you up for good local work in the near future hauling chemicals or fuel.

 

Nope.I don't.But this forum does. Use the search feature,find the thread you want and post your question.Good Luck to you!!

 

Boyd & Maverick are good.
Since you already have some experience, maybe Burkhart Enterprises in Knoxville will consider you. They run usually within 500 miles of the terminal, so you should be home often. Check their website; interesting company.

South East Carriers is an excellent company.

Weekend home program:
Jordan Carriers
Maverick
Builders Transportation Co.

Ignore "experience required" and apply with any company you like.

 

With you being in Knoxville your in a good spot for Boyd Bros. My bf drives through that area pretty often. During your training period you make $500 a wk but after that you should make a lot more if you drive right. As for home weekends, there may be some weekends you can't get home but Boyd does try.

 

Private Message RevKev, he used to work there.

 

I was with McElroy for six months in 2013. Left only b/c I got I tanker gig. I averaged 1950 miles a week. I stay in touch with a couple of drivers there, & they're average per week is a bit higher.
