    Its surprising how many of you don’t believe you can earn $80 to 100k+ in a truck
    The Monday-Friday 8 hours a day is more unbelievable to me than those numbers are

    He made $56 an hour working 40 hours a week doing local work. Now he is down to a $40 an hour 40 hours a week and he is demoralized! Now he's thinking about jumping ship.


    What a joke!

    That's why we don't believe it ... It's not the $80k-$100k per year , it's the Mon-Fri 40 hours non-sense hauling ""normal dry freight"

    I was personally on track to making $90k+ before getting laid off recently but that was a 6 day work week working 10-12 hours per day

    This guy is saying he made $116k on a 40 hour work week PLUS PLUS another $10k in annual bonuses !!!
