    Well ok ...Maybe 700 take home.A lot of variables here.If you get a good run etc.I know,my 1st month teaming for CRST ,I had a Hefty $238 in my Comdata account.Grabbed a Greyhound home from Cedar Rapids.Layovers,flat tires,delays at shippers etc.Bad dispatch etc.It just depends.$600 is ballpark.

    I worked with new cdl grads doing tankers and they were "taking home" over a thousand a week. We only had 2 new grads at my terminal and they both were "taking home" over a grand a week.

    That is absurd! $238! I'd tell em to shove it just out of principle.

    Yep. A #### well paying one too. I know nothing of LTL world though, we'll see.

    But yeah, be careful with your choices of companies and don't get locked into a contract with something awful that's going to pay you peanuts for the year that you can't quit. No reason you shouldn't be able to clear 50k your first year.

    Quickest way to jumg to the head of the line at UPS is to apply for UPS Freight. This division hires off the street.

    $28,000 divided by 7 months = $4,000 a month.

    That is EXCELLENT money!

    God bless every American and their families! God bless the U.S.A.!
