"$2500 per week without owning any equipment"

True story.

My company gave me a trainee. The trainee started to tell me what
all the recruiter promised him.........put me in a spot. What I am supposed
to do? Tell the trainee the truth about the route he will be put on......and have
the trainee quit on the spot...................or am I supposed to lie for the
company?



In that moment I was no longer willing to train for the company. Funny thing.....
when the recruiter started crying about needing drivers and how no body wants
to work for him I told him to stop lying to the new hires. That was several years ago
and he is still lying to the new hires.

 

Agreed... What I make where I am is mine, you go find yours.
You will be better satisfied that way.

 

Well thats cheap company then.
Solo drivers can earn those wages

 

I've had a several weeks as a solo company driver that I've made over $2k gross...

I've made over $60k in 1 year before... That's 5 to 8 days on the road with 2 to 4 days at home between runs, plus a few weeks off throughout the year. If I really wanted to, I could run harder and average #### near $2k per week...

 

i ran hard in my youth....got burnt out..then said "screw it", i don't need no stinkin' money.

 

What world do you live in.
The average salary for a driver is about 45,000 a year.
Only on this site do we all make 90 grand a year.
But none of us have to prove it.

There ain't but a handful of company drivers
Making 1800 a week.

 

It means you are a "contractor". It means you pay your own IRS AND social security out of that. It also means that you will pay for tires and repairs.

 

Yeah running that hard is exhausting... There are more inportant things in life than money, slow down and enjoy those things... Right?
