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

I started out making 40k and now im making just a tad under 50k. Ive only been driving for about 3 years now. I work for a local foodservice, home every night, working 60 hours a week. Might check into foodservices around your area. Only downfall is you have to unload all of your product via 2-wheeler.

 

In My area there is Dunn's Tank Service,Kleen,Total Oilfield,etc.

In your area I have no idea. They was needing drivers in ND.Probably still are.

 

i would say luck+research: Also a clean driving record really helps.

1) lots of research----pay rates+volume of work.

2) foodservice as a suggestion---they do hire new drivers. Auto hauling not so much, but even if they did the auto industry is maybe not operating at full capacity?

Around spring 2000 when i was with a food distributor, there was a 21 yr old kid making about 50K. It was his first driving job, so yes it is possible.

 

find a niche
heavy haul.
get extra endorsements...xt
work in north dakota.
be a ice road trucker.
go to iraq.
work for ups
work for fedex
not really to hard, but you gotta work
get it there on time, no osd, don't crash the truck.
basics.

 

There is work in ND, but have a place to live. I would not suggest you bring more than yourself and your work clothes.

 

Is this realistic? ( Ballpark figures)

.27 cents a mile
500 miles a day times 5 days=675 a week
675 x 4 weeks=2700 - taxes (20%=540)=2160 a month
=25920 take home a year.


Is this what someone can look forward to starting out?

 

The 4200 was .30 cents times 500miles a day/7 days a week. =4200.00 dollars a month before taxes.

But from what I've been reading 2500 miles a week is an average. I'm assuming 500 miles a day 5 days a week=2500 miles a week.
