What kind of pay could I expect starting out (intrastate)
After taxes, benefits, etc., about how much would I bring home a month just STARTING out truckdriving? (intrastate)
With the job I'm at now as a streetworker, I bring home about $900 a month. Surely I'd start out a little bit better than that. :?:

You might be able to get on with a trash hauler or beverage distributer for around $10-$14 an hour depending on where you live.

Check with local construction companies and gravel yards. Some may not require any experience to drive a dump truck. Also, have you checked with your state's Dept. of Highways? They pay better than local governments in most cases. All of the above should be in the $10 to $15 per hour range.
