    God I hope not. That is about $10k less than I made my first year as a company driver.

    I tried earlier to get a number of what big money meant considering you started the thread. Now we know. Yes you should be able to gross 56k per year with a good work ethic as a company driver.

    I am different. 75k is my magic number.

    My first year with Crete, I came out of CDL school and went with a trainer for 8 weeks starting February 6th. Made $46k that year, mid $50s each year since. I would have considered that "big money" before I learned what you sacrifice for this lifestyle. Understand that if you have a family, the money comes with a price.
