    Who you calling young? LOL I am only 1.5 years from hitting 50 myself. Only started driving about 4 years ago now and I was like you, thrown to the wolves. Lots of reading and observation on my part to get it right. It also helps if you have common sense and are not afraid to get dirty.

    $800 to $850 week take home. 5 days. Home every night. Roughly 60 hours a week. Delivering produce. Half my hours are getting unloaded at stores.

    I have a really easy job in all reality, i could bring down more but the trade offs are not worth it. I bring from 55 to 70 depending on the busy season, im on track for 65 or so this year

    Depends on the week but like everything else, that is between me and the boss. I will say more than some less than others

    For AZ that's good Mula !

    I only do around 50 hours. I'm happy just paying for food, mortgage and electricity. I don't get to save a penny

    That's pretty much around my ball park I think but my estimation is that you may or may not make more than others here

    You are amazing; thought you were 30'ish; much respect man. I've got common sense, and plenty of dirty clothes; just never learned the securement like I should have, before my 'mishaps' . . . At my age, lesson learned. I've studied and learned a ton since last two winters.
    I'll be ready for this one, but NOTHING like what you do, man. Kudos, for sure.
