Typical Salary?

a new grad will go out for about 6 weeks then after that about 2 to 3 weeks at a time then home for 2-3day. most will make about 30K first year. the first 6 weeks usally around 350 to 400 a week.

 

Well start looking at start up companies what there paying per mile. are you going to be happy gone for 3 weeks at a time..... look at Conway truckload out of Joplin Missouri they pay .26 a mile for all miles driven good befits and flexibility to move to the ltl side Conway freight make sure its good wages not no .15 mile crap there are companies who want free labor

 

I am also very curious about this...but for an entirely different reason.

We are in the Winter Haven area and I have my own authority...of course, my ex-wife receives child support from me based on some government survey of what a truck driver working for a company would receive.

The difference between the government survey, what a new company driver makes, and what I make is like comparing apples to oranges to bananas...in descending order of income.

What does a first - year company driver in Florida bring home?

 

You think 26 cpm is a good starting wage?

 

My question to you is what is the bare minimum (net dollars) your family can survive on in any given month?

 

Oh My your comment so reminds me of past long ago. Law states NOT what you make but what you can potentially make. Just like you said. If you make 10 an hour and Industry your in averages in 25Hr. they base it on 25hr. for child support. NOT the actuall 10hr. u make. Oh so know this law well.......Brother went thru this NOT me. I paid wrote a check for 16 years every month. Know where your coming from driver. I not far from WHaven. Be safe!!
