    Hello! I'm in my sleeper trying to write out a business plan for my future. I was wondering what do you think the fastest clearcut way would be to $100,000+ Net a year in trucking under these conditions:

    Starting Age: 21
    Expenses/Bills: $0
    Monthly Income: $3,000 After Food/Phone
    Max Age Before Quitting: Age 26
    Title: Company Driver
    Goal: To Build up to $100,000/yr Net within 5 year timeframe

    Any paths you would take? (Yes, I'm aware us noobies come around with this same question in a different format everyday lol)

    We talking strictly trucking $'s, or using trucking $'s to spurn and profit from other investments?

    Fastest way #1 win the lottery
    Fastest way #2 inherit it
    it's hard to NET 100k a year in this business even if you run 24/7/365. It would probably take a specialized situation. Goooood luuuuuuck

    But A&R logistics will give $72,000k 1st year driver:( hauling dry bulk. Surely you can make more than that if you go owner op

    if your an owner op with your own authority, your own trailer etc.....you might square away 70-80k CLEAN cash a year IF you are super disciplined with your money and your truck doesn't have major issues.

    Do flatbedding, save up for your own equipment, lease to somebody or become independent. If you buy a right truck you can easily net $100k running under under 100k miles per year

    Walmart drivers make $85k plus, union line haul or car hauler do quite well.
