I was making 550 a week after taxes during training
And paid my bills 4 months ahead.. You know. Responsibility and all. I knew what I was getting into.
I was after all a cdl B holder for 5 years before I got my A.
I started wheeling non cdl trucks at 18.
Altogether 15 years of various truck and equipment operation of all sizes .SESteve83 and Protein Hauler Thank this. -
And holy cow. 15 years now..... Time to start thinking of taking a social security check and enjoying life
Pintlehook Thanks this. -

Hopefully that pension covers the slack

Another option is Millis Transfer in Eden,NC. They have cdl training and a job. Drivers there say they make $50K+.
Roehl Transport will pay you $500.00 weekly to attend their cdl training, then after graduation you are paid regular driver pay.
Freymiller hires drivers that haven't driven in 5 years. They put you through their inhouse refresher course.
I'd try for Schneider Bulk or Magnum Ltd. first though.SESteve83 Thanks this. -
Or gross incompetence.
Or willfull stupidity. -
Start saving for the divorce and child support right away cause your wife soon tire of you being gone all the time and waiting for promised riches .

You might want to reconsider otr with children as young as yours are. If you are covering your bills now, you might want to give it a few more years before you make the jump, especially if you have good health insurance.
Believe me, I know what it's like to feel stuck in a job, but your family comes first. Plenty of time for trucking later. Just my opinion.x1Heavy, Protein Hauler, bzinger and 1 other person Thank this. -
You would need to take a refresher course and considered a newbie which means you'll be making between $500.00 to $700.00 a week sometimes not even that when you have brkdowns or waiting for a load.Then going home for home time will put a damper on your pay.I would suggest regional or decated then at least you'll know what your checks will be every week.SESteve83 Thanks this.
