    I don't get the Kool Aid reference. Even if he has to put up the additional 7.5% self employment tax that's $5700.
    76000-
    5700
    70,300.00

    I don't think that's his truck, or that's his number after fuel and blue sky. Yea that's a good job to me.

    Nope, agree. Not after fuel and blue sky...somehow that got lost. And I didn't mean YOU drinking the Kool-aid. The NUMBERS guy!

    I think that other schnook is a Ssssssssssssssssssssccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccchhhhhhneider IC.

    I don't know why he thinks dd is a troll. Nothings perfect. Some fantasy trucking place I'm sure it is. I look at some guys that are company drivers that make big money, and they all seem edgy at a minimum, and many are just nasty, and always in a hurry.

    I was going to add in my first post; What my Dad took me aside and told me when I was 7.
    "Son you never give a good GD about what anyone thinks of you."
    Dad's a genius.

    Sounds good...I would keep at in and gain experience. Next step would be a local jobs. Depending on the area, a lot of local tanker drivers can make that kind of money and be home every night. But more experience is a must, and keep that record #### and span.
