    I know this has been asked many times before, but what could I expect for take home pay each month? The reason I'm asking is I must make $1,700 after taxes each month for my bankruptcy. Is this a realistic goal or would I have to kill myself to make that each month?

    you should be able to make that without a issue. In the past 4 months I've taken home at least 3,000 a month. If not more some months.

    I saw a thread where 33cpm was mentioned as a starting rate. Based on 45 mph average over 70 hours which I would think is a bit in the low side, and using 4 weeks a month, I would think your expectations are realistic. LTL seems to attract a higher rate, as does local work paid by the hour.

    Hope this helps.
