Maverick Transportation is flatbed and hires new cdl school grads.
Drivers in the "glass division" post they make big paychecks like you want.
Maybe some "glass division" drivers will post on here and give you the facts.

My first week was gross 1850
Say 1000 for this week.
2200 for next week
Then 850 for my off week, assuming I dont get an LTL when i get back for the weekend which adds on to off week and kicks that 850 up to over 1000.
Thats 5,900 I'm getting this month, gross. First year team drivers earn this as well.
Im on track to retire early even if I never leave my starting company... Assuming investments work out.BigDog Trucker, Chinatown, FlaSwampRat and 1 other person Thank this. -

Maybe Im just not spoiled and was used to working for low pay before trucking.
My experience is most new drivers are pretty clean. Most of them will shower even more than me.
I wouldnt worry about that. Id worry about sleeping in a moving truck and just being in one with another rookie driver. Its pretty safe. I dont know of any crash casualties with my company. But the risk is there and would it bother you? Hygiene not so much worry in my opinion.BigDog Trucker Thanks this. -

Can I ask, why trucking?
You’re starting from scratch and wanting to learn a new trade correct? Why not go where the money is?
yes some guys make money in trucking but you won’t be one of them right away. You’d be better off being an apprentice making 20 dollars an hour to be a pipe fitter or something (which is more than you will make as a new driver) then eventually making 40+ an hour.
just trying to keep it real with you man, if starting from scratch I’d aim higher.FlaSwampRat and BigDog Trucker Thank this. -
