$100k a year, home every weekend

FW I'm not sure what the concert tour drivers or nascar haulers make I would imagine they do well.

 

I've worked for them, guys do make that much but it takes years to get a good long run. And ya plan on working close to 70 hours in 5 days to make that. Starting out you will spend the majority of the night working the dock.

 

Those guys live on the road though. Definitely not home on weekends

 

It's hard for me to comprehend why guys would go out 1,2 weeks at a time and only bring home 50-60k a year. I know some cos pay more, but from looking at craigslist once in a while, it looks like this is what the norm is. The OTR companies need to step it up with the $$. If I did OTR, id expect at least 90+. Im home every night, and I make over 70.

 

I hear the Schneider ici drivers make close to 250,000 a year

 

That's gotta be the driver who stated a couple days ago he takes those .89cpm loads to get from point A to the good paying loads

 

You're right some things never get old.

 

Depends where you live.

 

Oil field - Hauling salt water

When I worked 5 on 2 off I made over 100k. I switched to a schedule of 4 on 3 off in 2014 and grossed 92k and in 2015 88k while coming home every night.

It used to be as long as you could breathe, we would train the driver with or without a CDL while they collected a hourly wage + overtime. Now the policy states the new hire has to have their CDL, hazmat, and tanker endorsements.
