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!

 

Try mid to low 40's at best

Been at this almost 3 years and it generally floats about there. :wink:

 

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

 

first year
flatbed linehaul in california/nevada
out monday home friday. sometimes i get to swing by the house for a night or two during the week.
i work about 55-60 hours a week about 900 week gross and free health/dental insurance
been driving since febuary

tarping sucks. luckily, i dont have to do it that often

 

What company is that? If you don't mind me asking. My friend told me his friend is making 1500 a week going to Cali from Vegas.

 

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.
got to get some experience before i can hope for that $$$$

 

from what I am told this friend has been driving less than 2 years, I havent talekd with him personally but I asked my friend to get some more info from him about it, so we'll see.
