Annual incomes

well i went through swift ugh to get my cdl and i went through a 3 week cdl mill school that could careless if you knew what you where doing or not after that i went home for 1 week so i could fulfill tn;s law abotu being a 1 month resident before having a cdl after this i went out with a trainer for 6 weeks at a very crappy pay level and after all this crap i went out on my own to hit cars and kill people like every other swift driver lol

 

what do you mean..on his own..........??

as an owner-operator....??

or as a company driver.....???

======================

as an owner-operator, that time frame is up to the individual as to when to buy his/her own truck and "on his own"


as a company driver, as soon as you kick out the trainer, you are "on your own"...........

 

Are you referring to how long until a driver is solo after training? Or how long until a driver can buy his own truck and trailer? They are two different questions. In general, after initial training, most training companies send you out with another driver for a finishing period on the road, usually 4-6 weeks depending on the company and how well you adapt. At that point you are handed the keys to your own truck and you are a solo driver.

If you are talking about owning your own truck, then the absolute bare minimum time is 2 years of experience, and for most people they should have more than that.

 

yeah, us "old timers" think about retirement/benefits...........

let the "young bucks" think about the money, they'll learn "soon enough".....
