    11k per month is only 2750/wk. Is that number net or gross? How much does your truck cost to operate per mile? If you're spending 1500/wk in fuel you're only left with 1250 dollars. You think that's a good deal? Use the search option here. There's a TON of useful information available if you take the initiative to learn.

    Why does everyone get hung up on the gross number? So, let's say you gross 20k per month and it costs you 21k to do it! Can you tell me how much money you are making?

    Yes,but most all you will need a trailer of your own or rent one. So what kind of trailer you looking to pull?

    Traveloko, Mag Carriers, Big Rock (a Roadrunner Company) all Pay a high percentage of the load. I don’t know much about them though. Traveloko seems to be pretty popular with the YouTube truckers these days.

    Depends if you can book your own loads % turn into big money per mile. Im 70% currently on a load 922mi 4400. Or 3080.00 to truck. My company allows me to book my loads their trl. Im happy with that . If you find a company lets you work the boards your income is really up to you
