I know maverick has $52k on their website but I know better than come to expect that. I have driven 8, 9, 10, 13, 18 and automatics. Never any accidents and one speeding ticket a year and a half ago. Thanks
52,000 is NOT unreasonable. Our guys at TMC range between $45,000-$60,000 per year. I'm currently making $1100.00 per week and am on a dedicated run. Home daily and weekends. OTR guys make more. I've seen no shortage of freight. Some guys have. Regardless, NOW it's picking up and in the end, when all the beans are counted, you're going to make around $50,000 in 12 months.
