show me 1000.00$ a week net guaranteed....and I will work for youWhat

For an individual as myself, $52,000 a year is a fantastic annual income. I TRULY and GENUINELY realize that these truck drivers SERIOUSLY work hard to EARN this type of money.

This is a previous post of mine from another thread.

Currently, I am 56 years old with 38 years in the workforce. In those 38 years, I have had a total of 7 jobs. I am currently trying to hit 10 years at my current job. I have 7 months of UNVERIFIABLE UNEMPLOYMENT from 2006 to 2007. I never collected unemployment compensation. 2006, I had to quit my job, move back to the east coast from the Midwest, to help my 2 sisters care for our elderly mother. She passed away about a year later, 2007. In the mean time, it took me 7 months to find the current job that I have. I moved back to the Midwest in 2009.

Therefore, if I am able to get to a truck driving school, acquire my CDL, get on with a trucking company, I would like to have a full 10 years behind me, without question, providing that I do NOT get laid off or terminated. If I am able to get into a truck driving job "down the road" I hope that it will be the last job that I ever have to apply for, and retire from it.

As shown below, my work history is both semi-stable and semi-erratic. Also, my pay scales have ranged from minimum wage to lower middle income wages.

NOTE:
What has helped me over the years is my family and, currently an income of an extra $300.00 a month or $3600.00 a year, which was a result of my mother passing away 6 years ago. Her dividend income came to me, through her estate. It REALLY helps out.

NOTE:
No matter what the starting pay scale of a trucking company is, it is MORE than I am currently earning. Therefore, it will be like "manna from heaven".

TRUTHFULLY, I only have myself to blame for this. I HONESTLY do NOT have a legitimate excuse for having put myself into this situation. Without going into details, I messed up and it followed me throughout my life, (never been arrested or convicted of a crime). The last several years, I have been getting out from under my mess, (never been married - never had any children).

7) retail store ********************* 2007 (still working there) * 6 years ***** $ 8.00 an hour to $9.30 an hour

Total Number of Years ******************************************* 37 years

NOTE:
I am currently earning $9.30 an hour plus any overtime, commissions, or nighttime differentials that come my way. I am VERY GRATEFUL to have a job.

NOTE:
I am also working on trying to improve my health: lowering blood pressure, stabilizing blood sugar levels, bringing my weight down, and trying to get my hearing loss in my right ear restored. I busted my right eardrum in an accident, (swimming pool accident). I have already lost about 1/2 of the weight that I need to lose, (30 lbs. lost, need to lose another 30 lbs., which would be a total of 60 lbs.).

God bless every American and their families! God bless the U.S.A.!

 

hubby clears between $1100 and $1300 a week......thats with $97 out for child support a week....12 to 13 hr days, 5 days a week....crude oil.

 

I am not sure about the trucking industry, however, many companies, many industries, look at a person who has never made a decent living as being lazy, worthless, or severely lacking initiative.

What is also strange is that these same companies and industries also look at many well paid individuals as being grossly overpaid for the work they have done, especially if they have been in a labor union. (I personally have never been in a labor union).

This is a HORRIBLE situation of being caught between a rock and a heartbeat.

 

This seriously EXCELLENT, as well as HARD EARNED money.

God bless every American and their families! God bless the U.S.A.!

 

UPS, FEDEX,Multiple LTL companies net $1,000 per week .... Its not difficult

 

mje, is there a particular reason you want to have 10 years at that job? Do you think it is necessary? I, myself, have not heard nor seen any trucking companies requiring that kind of resume fodder. Knowing that a fellow student in my CDL class had been previously unemployed for a few years, yet got a job 2 days after graduating, I'd feel safe in saying it is wholly unnecessary. In my opinion and 6 months of experience, driving a truck is unlike any other job, anyway. My unsolicited advice? Go get your CDL now, and start driving asap, before any more crappy laws make it harder.

BTW, after 6 months with Roehl, driving national flatbed, I'm averaging $680/wk net + 4% 401k. (401k is earning 9% so far this year! )

 

Yea tne oilfield pays well but you earn it. Hard working man you got there.

 

yes he is...but he says this is the easiest job he has ever had in his almost 30 yrs of driving.....

 

Try Nevada. No state taxes here, either. We get a little bit of hot, a little bit of snow. Oh, and I've never seen any of our handful of scales open.

 

1000.00 dollars a week ? Come on man up it up some more,why settle for such a small amount,..go to fedex frieght and get your shorts with the reflector tape all over em.!!
