How much are u guys really make in?

Working 5 12 hr days a Driver could make $65k , not bad at all, beats average OTR pay. ( Although most Drivers claim to make more). Numbers don’t lie

 

2nd year. 2nd company (hint). Deposited in my account is over $1k per week. I'm inexperienced with this type of trucking. Learning, fumbling, etc. Been told by other drivers. If I run the way I want. Which is about a month off per year. I'll make $75K/yr.
The condo in my truck is my home away from home. That is my bed. More comfortable there than any hotel room.

 

I feel like all drivers should make a minimum of $115,000 a year to meet with the sacrifices most drivers make.

 

And then more drivers would say that's not enough. Personally I don't think OTR pays as bad as so many people make it out to be. Its pretty easy money to me. The only thing that's hard is trading in your normal life, and I don't even think that's terribly difficult.

 

Are You at one of the linehaul companies?

 

started in late June last year, teaming with my girlfriend at Celadon, and recieved our W2 for almost 42k for 5 months of work. We know it will be better after 2 years
