First let me say hello and give u a little background on me. Im 39yrs old and i used to sell cars for a living. i sold cars for 7 yrs at on dealership. i really like selling cars and i was good at it. But the car biz has changed. so i joined the national gaurds, and they paid for my truck driving school. i finish 20071018 for those non military that is 10/18/2007 . anyway i have been lurking on here before i join the national guards. i chose truck driving because i like the some what of freedom. dont have to deal with people . My question is , is there a company that i can make 950-1100 a week. or thats not realistic. all comments are welcome good or bad.

The pay is in your ballpark. The bennies are excellent. And they treat me good...

Good luck to you!

Give Maverick a call.I drive for them and it is the best move I have made.Their training is great.They treat you like a person not a number.

Hubby makes that in net on the lower range, almost every week, barring broken down trucks and holidays! However, I know TMC isn't for everyone, but if you haven't looked at them you might take a look.

How many flatbed companies have you had working experiences with in order to be able to make this statement? Having worked for TMC I can tell you that my local gig is better than your job.

Look for a Campany that doesn't need to advertize and pays by the hour. Ask HR for there turn over rate.

i talke to a tmc recruiter yesterday at the truck driving school, he told me its going to be impossible for me to gross 900 a week and still be home on the weekends. im just lookin for a job that i can be home most every weekend , due to my national gaurd drill. i am not married , nor i have kids, so away from home is not that important. i just dont want to be out for ever to gain 900 weekly. thanks for the info , keep them comming, i have to found a job soon!

I thought the National Guard only required 1 weekend per month? If that is the case, most carriers should be able to work with you to get you home. It is difficult finding a carrier who will get you home every weekend without some experience. I know of a couple of van carriers who get their drivers home most weekends, but require 1-2 years experience.
