Hey drivers , so I’m about a year experience an I’m still enjoying my career . I started at western express an moved to a regional positions making about $70,000 well what would be $70,000 a year where I am now. My question is in about another year should I get my hazmat a tanker to make more money a maybe go local?. Or should I just stay where I am because I have great benefits , 401k I love it and I get raises soon four to five years I’ll be at 6figure income. I appreciate the advice I get here because because of you all I found employment as a ex felon an now I’m doing very well an my life has changed drastically
Should I add endorsements? Will it be beneficial?

Are you still at Western?
As for your question on endorsements, get them all so you'll be prepared when that tanker job is available.Albertaflatbed, nextgentrucker, broke down plumber and 2 others Thank this. -

I think I'd stay at BST for now. At least stay a year or two to show you're not a job hopper. That pay is excellent for a new driver. Still go ahead and get all the endorsements as soon as possible.nextgentrucker, Eddiec, broke down plumber and 1 other person Thank this. -
I always recommend getting all of your endorsements because you never know what may become available. That said, I'm not sure how the whole HazMat thing will play out with you having a felony conviction.......not trying to harsh your mellow, but they do a background check on you and I'm not sure how that goes with a felony.
Good luck.....you're thinking right.Albertaflatbed, nextgentrucker, broke down plumber and 3 others Thank this. -
That felony might be a hangup with getting hazmat but we have a guy up in Tacoma hauling fuel locally and he has at least one felony on his record.
