Maybe a former O/O L/P Doing Class B work ?

 

Yea what have you been doing for 26 years? I'd think you should have more than a clue what the deal is by now. For starting out you won't find much better than that.

 

Thats good pay for 1 week some companies dont even pay fresh drivers that much but when i started out i started making about 600-700 a week boy was i happy

 

How much did I get paid when I first started driving trucks. I seems to me that we were paid in fruits and nuts. When we went past 40 hours the pay was all nuts. They kept longer. Any way it was really a good living for time the period.

 

Good job Monkey.

Coming to the end of your career. They may give you a mate to breed with

 

It is a good article. Reinforces a lot of what I thought.

 

To the OP. I made any where from 3600 a month to, wait for it, 1100. Typically around 2300 a month.

 

If you're tethered to your truck 14 hrs/day, 5 days/week ..Its equal to a $10/hr regular job with OT. That is of course assuming compensation for all of your time outside the mandatory DOT breaks.
