    Ok so I realize hoping for 1500 plus with under 2 years exp isn't gonna happen as a company driver. However I'm sure 1200 to 1300 is doable gross of course. What good companies can you think of that would be around there. I have my X endorsement and over a year exp. I would prefer otr and don't have a house or apartment..

    try places like UPS Freight, ABF, SAIA, ODFL, but you would also need the doubles/triples endorsement.

    not enough experience for them or just not hiring...period..??

    they all have linehaul, you can be gone all week, or home every couple of days.

    many times, one has to start on the docks OR as a yardman, just to get the foot into the door.

    I made 1200+ gross at the first company I drove for on a Northeast regional route. It’s the bottom of the bottom, type of mega company but you can bring down 1200 gross. You will work for it and won’t be sleeping tucked in all cozy at a pilot every night. If you really want some money become a trainer and run the truck like a team operation. My trainer showed me what he was hitting each week without his bonus at the end of training.

    Try Britton transport
    I work there and typically make that much or more weekly gross when out a full week. I stay out 25 days at a time so do make less on weeks I go home but otherwise that amount is pretty consistent. Overall is a good conpany that treats me well. They do pay 100% of the drivers insurance premiums as well which I appreciate. I am in the flatbed division but I see happy drivers in the van/reefer division as well. Best wishes in your search!
