    That's good $ for a company man,,,
    Not so much for an o/o.

    And I haven't seen many Amazon tractors out there.

    Not going to post a pay check , Listen to me The driver shortage is Real you can literally walk into a company and tell them what you want (not the big companies tho)

    I Walked in the company I'm at now told them this " I'm a runner I want 2300+ a week an automatic and direct deposit . the response I got was "Give me a week to get your truck ready and you gotta stay out for a least 2 weeks at a time." All these company's are so desperate its funny cause then us drivers get to exploit them
    Now what you discuss in the office is your deal

    I have less an year of experience and Tanker companies offering me training when your supposed to have "5 years Experience " blah blah

    Just get out there and tell them what you want
    Don't be afraid to take a risk, alot of drivers I know always have this excuse " I have a family to feed so I need stability " but as long as you do your job run your clock and don't BS you'll be fine

    So don't settle for $.30 cents a mile and 3-4 weeks away at a time. My dispatcher gets me home every time my 70 runs out, very rarely run recaps unless I need to stay out longer for some reason. I make percentage pay and brink home $800-$1200 a week. Im brand new in this industry and have already noticed its all about the company YOU choose to start with. No body is forcing you to go with a ####ty company.

    $3k a week though is $156K a year... I doubt you will find that as a typical OTR driver ANYWHERE. If you wanna make big bucks, go get experience and specialized in something...

    Jay......you might has well get you st to driving local cause you are not going to fine an over the road job that pays you 3000.00 a week for driving. But if they were to be some out there they would be far and few at the least in my opinion.
