How to Make $65-$95,000 Driving a Truck

http://www.richtruckdriver.com/

I came across this while doing a little research on Sage Truck School. Is anybody familiar with this outfit? Has anyone of you read read this e-book?

I'm wondering if I should order it. It sounds too good to be true.

Any info on it will be appreciated.

It is. Complete waste of time and money. From what I remember, a lot of what he recommends for getting "rich" is stuff like eating a lot of canned goods and crap like that.

It's easy - just write a book that says you can get rich and you'll get rich from the idiots that actually buy it thinking that they'll get rich.

EXACTLY

I think most people are the least concerned about seeing someone else get rich. These TV ads about helping you get rich absolutely kill me. It is basically people insulting your intelligence.

Perhaps your family and friends might want to see you get rich.

A complete stranger (in most cases) has no real interest in seeing someone else get rich.

It is an easy sell and brilliant scheme to get your money.

These folks are sitting in million dollar mansions, floating on yachts and counting up the money and laughing thier asses off.

your better off saveing that money working where you are and just keeping an eye open for a better position when it comes along. Also you have to live on less than you make or you will always be broke!

I can think of one particular poster who most likely would have loved to have seen this website a week ago or so. 8)

Plenty of ammunition there.

You know what really sucks about that rip-off? It's simply a driver preying on other drivers/prospective drivers. Drivers already have too many charlatans trying to get in to their wallets. The last thing that we need is one of our own joining in the melee. Shame, shame.

Technically, the guy isn't lying. I would imagine that, no matter what, your wages would fall somewhere in between sixty-five dollars and ninety-five thousand dollars.

From the FAQ:

Where can I get a hard copy of the ebook?

You can’t get one yet, but I am working on it. The cost of publishing is extremely expensive and I am shopping for a good print on demand publisher at this time.

I guess that "$65-$95,000" job isn't paying enough.:lol:

From another site, talking about the author, Troy Dudenhoefer:

Quote:

I personally went through the Schneider training academy when I started driving and I can say it was a good school and that they probably over train their students. Schneider is known for having one of the best truck driving schools in the trucking industry but I have nothing to compare the experience with. I only went through truck driving school one time myself.

I love this article by him:

Quote:

Sure, you may have a $70,000 a year salary but how much do you actually get to keep after taxes? Driving a truck with a CDL enables you to keep more of your earnings compared to most other occupations due to incredible tax breaks for CDL Drivers. CDL truck drivers can deduct almost anything and everything they purchase because it is all work related. Some items included in the list for CDL drivers: Laptop computers, internet service, satellite radio and subscription, cell phones and bills, all toiletries and cleaning products, uniforms and boots, tools, topped off with a $52 dollar a day per diem for meals. The list of tax breaks for CDL jobs goes on and on. Put it all together at tax time and a truck driver with a CDL keeps almost every penny he earns.

The funny thing is, his book claims to show you how to get home every day, which would disqualify you from getting any per diem pay.:lol:

Here's some false claims by him:

Quote:

The cost of the truck driver's training school is $1,500 to $3,500. Most schools pay for room and board and some company schools pay the student wages while they are training. Company schools will pay for training if the student agrees to work for them for one year.

Uh huh. Riiiight. Here's my absolute favorite claim by him:

Quote:

So the next time you see a truck driver remember this; his investment portfolio and his home are probably 3 times the size of the average American household. He has no student loans to pay back and he has the freedom to talk “like a truck driver”

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

:lol: I may buy this book for charged and Steve.

Well, I may be the odd man out here, but I'm going to call all of you supposedly experienced drivers flat WRONG!!

The fact is that a driver CAN make between $65K and $100K driving during his first year of driving; good ones can make even more!!

The Secret??

Haul REEFERS around the country!!

Just make sure you don't get caught at the Border Crossings, the Border Patorol Checkpoints, the Chicken Houses, and make sure that you stay cool and don't tip off Law Enforcement if you get pulled over!!
:D
