    What if someone want to go local or just be home daily and have no issues with working 6 days a week. What would that person have to do to net 100k.

    I make money now driving ready mix than I ever did tanker plus it’s way more fun if you don’t mind getting dirty.

    I never knew they paid so much here but as soon as I did I got a job there. Lol

    I don’t ever want to run a 700 mile day again.

    Minneapolis. Start at 24.06 full scale is 30.75. Takes four years to reach scale and wages go up about a dollar a year across the board from what a guy who has been there 25 years told me.

    Ot after 8, free health care, pension and all of that.

    I'm on track to earn 65-70k with Shaffer this year, not including bonus.

    I have now been driving a bit less than 2.5 years.

    I also bust my tail to get all the miles I can. If I slacked off some I could still make 60k, but I like to drive and keep moving.
