How do you get a 50k job within 2 years?

The title of this thread struck me, so I'll answer:

If you are getting into trucking ONLY for the money, it probably won't happen, because you won't have the work ethic, determination, stick-to-it-tiveness, or desire to do it well enough to EARN that 50k per year position.

I've read most of your posts on the other threads, and I feel like this could be you.

On the other hand, if you genuinely like the drive (Geez...sound like a CRE recruiter now!) and the other things involved with trucking, you just might do it.

Just remember...money is not the do-all, end-all. Job satisfaction, a fit with your lifestyle, and other factors come into play.

 

Yup, hes lucky!!

Took just over 4 years for me to get there, a couple over the road, 1 and a half doing city work for a LTL company and i was in the right spot to get the job i have now. Home every night, paid by the hour and working 55 to 70 hours a week.

 

I started making over 50K in under 3 years. I changed companies each time to a better one...I also lived in an area where there was a lot of demand for drivers. I lost my job though after I had a couple of tickets, I called the safety woman at my company a bit$ch and had a preventable accident - they fired me and I had to start over.

 

Go drive a transport in the oilfield.Several parts of the country are hiring and pay $70,000+ year.

I did it for a couple of years.Got tired of the 18-24 hour days.Most work 6 on 1 off.

Just my .02

 

work hard and pray!

 

Pull a reefer into NYC every week, haul glass, haul LTL flatbed freight. Get a job doing what most drivers won't do and you will make more money than most drivers.

 

Bingo !!!!!

 

Ha I had to go into NYC pulling a reefer on my first solo load working for Prime. I dont mind doing that at all. I told them to give me the load because my FM was nervous about me taking it. I grew up around Chicago so traffic and tight areas are nothing new for me.
