    I will have about one year of experience coming up pretty soon and I have the tankers and a hazmat endorsements with zero accidents/tickets. I'm looking to be out on the road for the entire year without coming home "except on Christmas week"

    What's the best company's/ways to make the most money ?!?!?


    I'm hard working, dedicated and push myself to do the best at all times. I'm 23 years old and I'm just looking for a way to make big money so that the time I'm in my mid 30's I can quit and start up a business, house, family...... so any ideas y'all ?

    To quote John Lennon, and this is the first time I have done so....

    What's best for you is something only you can decide. We can maybe suggest a company, which @Chinatown might have ideas, but we need to know where you are.

    Trimac Transportation has a good program. Once you qualify for their Elite Fleet, you can make over $100K running coast to coast. Probably wouldn't have to relocate unless you just need new scenery. They'll probably hire you since sometimes they even hire a new cdl grad.

    I ran coast to coast in a flat top pulling tankers and loved it; not with Trimac though. I don't know if all their trucks are like these or not. If the money is right; wouldn't matter. $100K + per year, you can bank lots of money every payday.

    At 100k per year I’d retire at age 50.

    The best way to make big money is to be an owner operator.
    You got a learning curve ahead. Lots to learn. The most important part that most ignore is; The business side of trucking. The accounting, handling your loads like a business. Just being a business man.
    You should watch a guy on youtube named: The Trucking Exec.
    Also if you want to lease; Jeffery Like.
