What companies can I make 1500-2000 a week?

To make that much without a ton of seniority at a company, you'd pretty much need to get into household goods and really work. Make sure you're with a company that pays both packing and unpacking, and don't be afraid of long days... try to unload one house then load another house daily (it's easy to get the ok from the homeowner to stay parked at their house overnight for your 10 off. Police tend to leave you alone too if you're not blocking traffic), or if you are blocking traffic, get add much done as possible and have a plan on where to park and be ready to get back to work the second that 10 hours off ends.

You can really make 1500 a week. If your ornery also had a cdl, you can take advantage of travel times to get a little extra packing in and bring that up to 2000.

 

Found this interesting... Applies to this thread and our industry.

Whistleblower Says Illegal Aliens Have ‘Taken Over Every Trade’ in CA Construction, Driven Down U.S. Wages

Now, the subcontractor can circumvent paying them as an hourly wage and are now being paid by 1099, which means that no taxes are being taken out.

For instance, the massive importation of low-skilled foreign nationals to the U.S. has translated to a cheap-labor economy that has aided in keeping American men’s wages stagnant for at least 44 years, as Breitbart News reported. Median earnings for American men working full-time were actually lower in 2016 than they were in 2007.

You got that off of Breitbart.com. That is is the most conservative Republican opinionated organization ever. My question to that whistleblower is why is he mad at the illegals? They don't know what good money in America is. They just see this as work and an opportunity. I would tell him, the illegals ain't the ones driving down wages. It's your business men at the top, the wealthy greedy men, that just got that massive tax break, that people should be angry at. They don't invest in their workers. Even if we were to get rid of the illegals, they would still pay American workers the same. They don't even pay workers to keep up with inflation. That construction company should be shot for paying anybody, illegal or not, that type of money in California. They get this tax break and don't even give rais s or create jobs. The most these employers will do is give bonuses. That's a tax write-off. I'm not a fan of bonuses. I feel like if you can give me a bonus, you can give me a raise. I'd rather see that in my "day-to-day" money. Anyway folks, my point is don't be mad at the illegals. They did nothing wrong. They didn't drive down wages. Be mad at the greedy man at the top who is taking advantage of them.

 

You said you have a 5 year old DUI, that’s the cutoff for a lot of companies I see. Oilfield, natural gas and drivers for construction companies can bring that down easily.

 

You mean other than being here illegally, right? You make it sound like they’re a victim of the horrible American businessman.

 

Where do I send a resume?

 

The Venezuelans said the same thing when they voted for Chavez for their president.

 

Send a first class letter to EL CHAPO.
San quinten prison. He's the man in charge.

 

Illegal or not, they are humans with families too. Everybody gets taken advantage of, even Americans. Essentially everybody is working for cheap. How many threads are on this forum about how little truckers get paid? The man at the top is in his bed every night while we move loads. I'm just saying it's wrong to take advantage of anybody regardless of whether they're American or not.
