Fastest way to higher income in trucking?

if you get on with a good rail yard outfit you can be home often and break 70

 

If you are young, and "lot's of net money" is your primary motivation in life (current and future), I might suggest you look at other avenues outside of trucking. You might make some "pretty decent" money in the first 5 years of trucking (compared to other options), but it doesn't come without a lot of personal and physical sacrifice.

But whatever you do, don't take a handful of hyped numbers/scenarios as absolute truth, and jump in expecting these numbers to materialize as they claim. You can get [out of truck driving] what you are willing to put into it. Thing is, the same can be said of ANY occupational/career start. You could go to work at McDonalds today as assembling burgers, and be store then regional manager in a short period of time, with the proper motivation. And not lose a marriage and not see your kids grow up as you may well experience in the typical trucking career start.

Just ask yourself.
What is eating out of tuna cans in an effort to save restaurant dining money worth?
What is living in a sardine can for weeks/years at a time, away from family worth?
What is it worth to spend 10 hours a day 6 days week risking your life as you co-mingle with thousands of drunk, tired, distracted truckers and motorists every day? (In case you didn't know, traffic fatality death rates are rapidly rising the last 5 years as traffic density in many areas approaches critical mass)

 

The best way to make money in trucking is with a high quality printing press!

 

Its easy to look at just the money in any job and eventually find it if you try. Just be careful you don't strap yourself with the good old golden handcuffs. I like a nice balance of outside of work activities and family time as well. Those things aren't usually to common with a $100k/year driving job or any job outside of an office these days for that matter.

 

Same could be said for a lot of once lucrative careers these days.
