Very realistic. Contact 50 employers once you have your CDL in hand and you'll have offers coming out of your ears. Pick the one you like. Don't allow yourself to settle for crapola.

I came out of CDL school with 3 offers of employment in my pocket. I took a tanker job paying hourly that had me home every night. They gave me a new truck, benefits, PTO, and training.

 

I have heard that some people embellish their resumes with experience that is unverifiable so as to meet the insurance company requirements. (winky winky) You do know that there are no DOT regs that require X amount of experience, right? That's all the insurance company BS.

 

The post office is a horrible place to work. By far the worst job I ever had.

 

I agree, had a contract with the USPS for three months and everyone I sent on it said it wasn't the nicest or happiest place to be.

 

For OTR the good pay is tankers. Several tanker outfits hire new cdl grads and you need tanker/hazmat endorsements.
