Can you start out with 80k with you become a trucker in North Dakota?

I as an experienced driver would find it insulting if a newb straight out of CDL school was making $80k.

 

I doubt any companies you can make that newby or not with all the laws.I would say it's impossible unless maybe you're driving for an outlaw company.

 

Happens all the time.

Why does a pro football player make $20. mil a year and a teacher $32k.

Just the way things are.

 

Not true at all.

 

That is not a rational comparison. Totally different professions you mentioned. Even though I agree the sports players are grossly over paid. Back to the topic of trucking a newb with zero experience making $80k while a vet makes less than half of that. Yeah right.

 

its not worth it imo, youre going to work like a dog and lower your life expectancy, youre going to be living in horrible mancamp conditions without hometime and everything is insanely expensive... slightly better than selling yourself into slavery...

hopefully youre young and in good health, and actually save any money you make.

 

Work with guys who have been driving 6 months that made $82k last year.

It is not hard to do when you are working 90+ hours a week.

 

Good point,amazing how many piss away their checks and have nothing to show for all the hours they work.

 

+ never going home while paying outrageous fees for shared housing in conditions that some homeless people would refuse to live in. +pricy food.

 

Not most,live in West Texas.Probably 90% have homes.Housing can be hard to find but not impossible.I purchased mine 3 months ago and pay $700. month for my mortgage and only have a 20 min drive to work.I only work part-time,50hrs a week and made $48k last year.
