The hard choices in life

I think there are more threads on this forum asking what a first year driver will make, than what a first year driver will make.

It's not like you can't trust 20 year old info, since we make the same that old timers made 30 years ago without inflation.

 

I think of myself as an athlete. If I get paid that makes me a pro.

The guys out there driving for free, they are the amateurs.

 

Lol

 

Yeah you are a "pro" but the guy that sits the bench the first year and gets paid less then everyone else.

 

Being paid less is still better than not being paid at all.

The best part of all is that I am sat on a bench doing absolutely nothing and still getting paid.

Pro is the only way to go...fo sho.

 

sho nuf

 

Just because you're driving truck doesn't change the paycheck to paycheck routine.

I would say at least 35 + the first full year it all depends on the company, start pay your willingness and how much the company will run you .. hopefully with little downtime..

 

might that offer still be avaliable?

know anyone else that'll do the same?

 

Work for that company a while then go local ltl. My first years and lowest earnings were 48,000. Been uphill ever since.
