    For years I let peoples comments discourage me from becoming a truckdriver, that was a big mistake. I am much more financially secure and a LOT happier in life now....I should of done this years ago instead of letting others biases and preconceptions influence me.

    Agreed but thinking a company driver can make 2700 a week doesnt help
    anything

    No, not that much unless your father owns the company. A company driver you can reasonably expect to make $1000 to about $1300 after you get out of training and have the companies system down.

    Maverick is a starter company. Go pull tanks. Less work and more money.

    Absolutely.

    Kind of like pulling into a truck stop with a gathering snow storm and asking how the conditions are up ahead on Cabbage Hill. You KNOW you are going to get opinions from truck drivers that are making ANY excuse to park the truck. Just carry on and throw iron.
