40,000 A year for a new driver?? Is this a lie??

It's possible you can earn that one your rookie year.... But highly doubtful!

 

We earned over twice that our first year. We're a team.

 

I made that much in 1975 my first job and was home for a little while everyday it was my first job driving 18 wheeler but it was oilfield.

 

We're company drivers. We both went to Swift and were schooled and trained by Swift. We're on a dedicated Wal-Mart fleet. We run between 5-6 k miles a week. I don't think we'd ever lease or buy because we just don't see where it would improve our situation much.

 

take this figure with a grain of salt.......how much you earn is dependent on how many miles you run. a driver that hustles will always earn more than one that just stands by and waits.........

 

Yes....Keep the doors closed and stay out of the truck stops.

 

If ya have ask...... (you know the rest). Do your own homework, then make your decision. Is a certain number your goal? You think a certain amount of money a year is the be all/end all?

I never really understood this uptight statement till I got older but....you can't afford it. I hope it sends a fire up your butt like it did me. You can thank everyone later....now get going!
