Now I'm really going to make you cry, as a new driver you'll be lucky to see 30 cents per mile! While you are out with your trainer it will be more like $400 to $450 per week GROSS! People always say to me you do pretty well as a truck driver, to which I respond my hours are like having two full time jobs during the week and a part time job on the weekend. If you look at driver pay over the past 20 years this industry is way behind on what a driver should be paid! Like oragonads posted DON'T DO THE MATH!!!!!! When you factor in your living costs associated will living on the road over three weeks along with taxes and deductions that $1000.00 per week nets out at about $600.00!
My two cents (from per mile to per hour)
