I may be moving to the Russellville AR area and am curious about LTL or local delivery work. I currently own a truck, but moving to a new area where I don't know any contacts looks daunting to keep my own truck. I don't mind getting some exercise so delivery kind of appeals to me.
My question is, how much can I reasonably expect to make? I've had my CDL for 3 years with a clean record. I don't have any endorsements, but could definately get them if it would help. I feel like I need to make at least $60,000 a year to support my family, preferably $65,000. Are these figures totally unreasonable for starting out?

New(ish) driver making $65g's/year to start? Sign me up,,,when pigs fly. I think you're asking a bit much. Keeping you're truck depends, what kind and is it paid for. I may out of the loop, but I'd think $40g's is a more plausible starting salary today.

I’ve only been driving for 4 years and my lowest year was 70k. Find an LTL company that is hiring in your area. OD, Fedex Freight, Estes, ABF, XPO, UPSF. You will need all your endorsements for any LTL company.

Tyson? J.B. Hunt? I would imagine Russellville would be good for local work with those companies
