    About ready to give up my license!
    14 years experience, accident free, good record.
    Been with three companies in these 14 years and not one gives you what they say.
    Now my bring home pay is $500 week, I ask for more miles, I get less but they post monthly top drivers report getting 14,000 miles.
    Family can’t live on current income, plus little home time.

    One UnHappy Trucker!

    $500 a week, unbelievable.
    Many new cdl school graduates are taking home a thousand a week, but they have the endorsements to make that happen.
    Where is your location? Maybe we can help you find a decent company.
    Regional or OTR?

    Yeah, I've also had to learn the hard way, don't listen to anything the company says, listen to what the drivers say about the company. Chinatown can help you out.

    You really need to move on from that company.
    Chinatown will have some good recommendations.
    Post your city/state and if you have hazmat/tank also if you looking for 48 OTR or regional.

    Read some of the reviews on here about companies and get on indeed.com. Some of their reviews are driver reviews. 14 years experience you should be telling them what you want. I've got 11 years, but I also have Hazmat and Tanker. If you can get those 2 endorsements you can get just about any job

    Have you looked into companies that have minimum guaranteed pay. That's what I'm doing now.

    I am a big fan of Hogan Transportation on their dedicated stuff. Gross $1300-1500 per week, home weekly. Where do you live at?
     
    TruckerDel and Mooseontheloose Thank this.

    Sounds goofy, how big of a company, are the other drivers bringing in the same kind of bucks.
    I would not give up my license EVER, but I would sure do something else if I thought 500 a week was all I could make.
    Where are you located?
