    Now, look at your net for the pay period and see if you've been bumped up to a higher tax rate.
    Sometimes those extra hours and extra gross pay aren't really doing you any good.

    Start putting 15 or 20% into an IRA or 401k now.

    Honestly the best advice and my favorite part of getting paid now... I check my 401k before I check my checking nowadays

    have had 3 weeks in a row all $1,700+ gross every week. i end up netting around $1,350 take home on that. currently we have 3 drivers out of work, two in the hospital and one had his brother die, so i am getting more extra loads then unusual, plus ive been working 7 days. i think im doing well for a local driver, and probably just as much as most OTR guys make.
