First year pay

Also look at Prime, inc. They pay you during training and then once training is over you'll start making $.42/mile in there lightweight trucks. They have a very good training program as well.

Most first year drivers should make between $45-50k the first year at Prime.

What makes the biggest difference in if you make money or not is how much home time you take, if you are late on loads. Being late will cost you loads and miles. You also need to realize not everyone can handle driving 10 hours a day or over 600 miles a day.

 

Common sense is good, but do you have any "horse sense"? There's a difference.

 

I'll see your 100K and raise you 20K!

 

You're not going to make it very far here with that attitude!

 

Way too many factors to determine an exact amount.

Expect around $500 - $700 weekly..

 

"the pros" lol

Come on, it's just a bunch of steering wheel holders.

 

Make a list of companies you're interested in and submit applications the first day of CDL school. Ignore "experience required" and apply anyway. Many new drivers land good jobs by doing this. Here's a few to research and most have online applications:

Schneider Bulk
Schneider Intermodal
Quick Fuel Fleet Services
ABF Freight System
YRC Freight
Hogan
Havlor Lines
UPS Freight
Trimac Transportation
TMC
Maverick
Venezia
Bay & Bay Transportation

There's plenty more, but this should get you started.
