First year pay

You could have started out at $55K - $60K with other companies.

This is from your other thread; what happened?
I've been bringing home $1,000-$1,200 every Friday and that's only being out 2 nights a week on average. I've only been out of CDL school for 6 months.

 

Oilfield plus hotshot work equals feast or fathom, just kind of the nature of the business. Yes you can make big money in the old field but it can also be unforgiving. Keep your nose clean and network as much as you can, something will come along eventually.

 

It could always be worse.

 

If u wanna get into oversize u could make more money. If u go otr u could make more money. Depends wat ur looking for . if u dont need to be home every weekend then there is definatly some flatbed gigs out here that will run u ragged but u will make good money

 

Yup new driver plus tanker and offroad driving is a risky offer.

 

Most people look at pay.

Almost no one looks at expenses. As long your costs (Home, wife, kids, personal eating etc) is less than what you make you are or should be stacking money.

 

A while back, I was looking to increase my earnings and @Chinatown recommended cryogenics. I made the move from foodservice delivery. I had no tanker experience, and no cryogenic experience but my new company gave me all the training I needed. Chinatown was right and I’ve not had a regret since. I know there’s plenty of Air separation units (where they process the product) in Oklahoma. I honestly believe that the OP could double his salary. (But they don’t give it away). Take a look at Air Products, Air Gas, Messer, and others. It’s been good for me!
