    Are you aloud to stay out for an entire year? If you are, what could your potential income be?

    Depends On The Pay. In The Ltl World You Can Gross $100 Grand Easy. Might See $80,000 In The Truckload World. Walmart drivers Are An exception

    Yes you can stay out. Income potential depends on a lot of factors. You still have hours of service regulations. You just don't have to worry about those slow weeks of them trying to get you home. Or those slow weeks coming off home time. Now if you work for an outlaw company who doesn't care about hours of service. Then I'm sure your potential can be greater, but I would stay away from them. As I will tell all wanna be's if you doing this thinking you are going to move up the tax bracket. Your feelings are going to get hurt. Aim low 30,000 AND If u get 35 or 40 u did good.

    Actually, $ 30,000, would be acceptable to me. Anything over that would be a bonus.

    Their gonna run the dog snot out of ya but your pay is gonna be low so depending who you go with and what type of frieght you pull will determine your year end earnings. I suggest flat bed or tanker. They usually pay a little better. You can usually stay out as long as you want with the exceptions of maybe taking your truck in for PM. But that s not to bad either.
