Thanks again for all the responses. I am attending a local tech school and paying for it by myself, with some state supported scholarships that anyone can get. So hopefully the will take that into account.

tjgosurf, when you say a newbie company, do you mean a fairly new company that isn't established or a company that primarily hires new drivers?

55K huh? that sounds like a big jump, but looking at the numbers it makes sense. Just a higher and faster increase in your salary than I'm used to seeing in my current field, which is the typical 3-5%.

Thanks again for all the help and info.

don't put to much into those numbers. they can/will change. it all depends on the amount of freight available and how you run a log book.

Depends on what company you're working for. If its a newbie company expect 25k-30k, if you make more great if you make less something is wrong. If you aren't making 55k your second year something is wrong.
