I just started a with BST. From my understanding's I will make 20% of the route. So the game plan is to do regional for three days and local for two days and if a Saturday gig opens up I want to take that as well . I know I won't get the best routes starting out but hopefully I can make enough money to cover my bills and pay back the money owe. I'm in my second week of training and so far we've been starting at four in the morning till six in the afternoon (2-3 loads a day) and I don't mind the extra work. It's backing into doc that has me scared ####less at the moment!!! But I did pretty good today back and get the dock so hopefully I can keep it up.

Just wait until you have to back into a dock on a busy street in the middle of down town, I don't really care for that at all.

Where is your location and what type trucking are you doing. Some drivers make poor wages their first year and some make $60K + or - a few dollars. Many factors involved.
