    You "NEED $1500 per week take home or better"? That is a lot to ask for so fast. You must live an expensive lifestyle to need $78,000 a year after taxes and expenses.

    I may be confused. When you say $1500 home are you talking company driver or owner op? And do you mean 1500 after truck expences?

    OK combined makes sence, I thought you each wanted to make that much. you should be able to do it combined if you get with the right company. Could be done otr or expedite. I have never done expedite, but from talking to other drivers you can make good money but it is less stable. Sometimes there is a lot of good loads, other times you sit or take crap loads. So you gotta be good at budgeting when you are doing good to cover slow times
