    I’m looking for a small carrier to drive for and make real money. I have about 2 months experience driving but I’m a great driver. Anybody that has a fleet of trucks or their own carrier I’d be happy to work for if the pay is somewhere close to 100k for otr, thanks

    With only 2 months of experience under your belt you will probably want to go to one of the mega carriers and hop on as a lease op. That is probably the only way you will be able to make 100k with that level of experience. I made close to 100k my first year as a lease op with Prime, but I also never took a day off. Good luck to you!

    That was net after all expenses, but before taxes.

    I’ve noticed I’m gonna need 6 months experience anywhere to even be paid a respectable wage sadly. I was hoping there’d be some small fleet owner on here that needs drivers

    Insurance companies rule the world. Most aren't going to risk it. Even the mega's, which will give you a chance, will probably stick you with a trainer for some time to make sure you know what you're doing. It's just one of those "gotta pay your dues" type situations. Good luck to you!

    You have to pay your dues brother
    At less than two years, you are a huge risk to anyone that takes you on and that must be taken into account.
    There are no reliable means of sorting out the drivers who are accident prone except time in the seat

    Kansas City MO, location really doesn’t matter much though as long as there’s a guaranteed job
