    Still gonna be hard to get an accurate answer. People tend to inflate their numbers. I’m not saying this about anyone in particular. But I’m always skeptical. Like someone else stated. The avg salary is like 60 some odd thousand a year, but everyone says they are making 2,000 or more a week. Sooo…. Someone is full of it. Maybe both. Idk.

    Hell I talked to a CR England driver the other week. Says he was making .70 cpm and was going to make over a 100 grand.
    But he only had 3 months experience. I was nice and didn’t voice my skepticism, but I highly doubt I was getting the whole story.

    Are you at at least .80 cpm or 30% of the load?
    Many of those jobs are out there.

    Some truth to that but the winers don’t get the same runs the can do guys do
    And that’s any business not just trucking

    It’s easy to get a CDL but harder to know what to do with it

    What are you looking for? Do you know the difference between gross and net? I would be more than happy to help you, but you make so many claims that I am not sure a job exist.

    Do you think the guy who complains all the time gets the same easy or higher paying jobs that the guy who just gets it done does?

    No way!!

    There is a reason some guys make more and in most cases way more than the next guy

    At the end of the day we are all driving a truck yet some make next to nothing and others are running around in nice gear and not busting their rear to do it
