Can I get some feedback from 1st year drivers on how much they made?
I hear from recruiters and ads about $50,000 first year but I hear a lot folks say that's not anywhere close to reality.
Thanx! |

i did it but i had to run team with cfi for the first four months and then switched to a dedicated account with jb.....averaged over 5000 a month with cfi but hometime sucked..
with jb i am on track to break 70k and am home every weekend but i bust my @#s unloading trailer loads of cabinets and hit very tight dispatchs legaly with a 63 mph tractor now after proving myself i have settled into a set run aprox 3000 miles a week leave the house sun and home by thurs with the option of running a short run for a few extra bucks if i want
it is out there but it is not always the easiest or most obvious course to find the best results |

i keep my company quiet on the boards.
but i dont have a dedicated run like your friends friend sounds like.
im sure its not the same company as mine
1500 a week would be nice.
i hope to work myself up to something sweet like that someday soon
only been driving 4 months or so.
