    Too many variables to answer that. Depends on endorsements you have and if you use them, the company you work for, the type of trucking, etc.

    It depends on how much care and effort you put into guiding your career ... the choices you make. The yearly gross expectations, even with years of experience and maintaining a clean record, can vary wildly from one job to another. Being able to move helps your chances a lot too especially if you're in a weak job market area.

    Hard to say; accessorial pays add up to a lot of money in a 12 month period. What does the company pay, in addition to cents-per-mile?
    Some drivers make over $100K within 2 years and some are still making $35K after a decade because they just don't have the ambition to do any better.
    A company like Trimac Transportation, you can make $65K right out of school and be up to over $100K in two years.
    Some foodservice companies, can make $70K easily and some of those drivers eventually are in the $90K - $100K with a few years seniority.
    Linehaul jobs such as Estes Express or Old Dominion and a few more, can easily make $70K and up.

    I am definitely able to move with in my home state of California. I'm trying to find the best opportunity as soon as my CRST contract ends

    Those figures are very interesting and attractive. I'm looking for guidance that will direct me in the right direction after buy CRST contract ends. A guy with a reefer run California to Pennsylvania and back says it would pay about 1400. When's my contract ends I'll see if that's still available otherwise I'll look into Marten Transport Western Express Schneider Dependable Highway Express Knight ABF OR the ones mentioned in your comment

    $1000 gross per week.
    Great dispatchers.
    Home when promised.
    Anything extra is icing on the cake.
    If you can stay at one company long enough to reep the extras bennies...also a plus.
