Highest paid job or company for a new guy?

Pay is nice but your expenses will be thousands each year if you don't carefully watch them.

And you have to build savings with each load delivered.

Then you need to build physical stamina, endurance and a mindset for the USA as you see it and learn it. Your first year as it is for all truckers is the most difficult time of learning, breaking stuff, losing jobs, possibly being fired for anything like being late etc.

At the end of the year if you are LUCKY, you are still trucking, have something the bank hopefully your El Dorado Real at 45K and up...

You can only learn by doing in this industry and eventually with a little luck you will have a goal met provided you get away with this long enough without being disposed of.

The Schneider Bulk pay from that ad seems a little low. I think you'll make much more than that. Some of those drivers right out of the military and cdl school are making closer to $1500 weekly with Schneider Bulk. Maybe the terminal you haul out of has different product or freight lanes that bring the pay down a little.
