    I had normal drivers for them, long before I bought them.

    Time will tell, but they were all recomended by other drivers who work for me. I didn't need to put any ad online etc.

    Depends on location.
    North to south........the more south the less you earn but the cheaper the cost off living.

    West to East ........the more East the less you earn but the difference is bigger compared to the North South divide.

    But the ironic part is that in the highest paying area's it is next to impossible to find a driver.
    The place i worked at 25y ago is now hiring drivers without a licence.
    They will train you and get you a trucklicence.
    That compagny has about 120 trucks.

    My drivers make around 1900 euro/month (after taxes), but keep in mind that after each two weeks on the road they spend 1 week home.
