You should talk to some TMC drivers. I know many that gross over $900.00 per week. I rarely go below $900.00 gross. There is no guarantee because of the availability of freight in the area you may be in. Last week I delivered West of Denver. There were 30 TMC trucks in the areas and only five loads. I was told to go to a truck stop for the night. Night dispatch called about 2000 with a load. Even losing a day, I still grossed about $1,200.00.
I leave later today for a final delivery in Southern Florida with multiple stops along the way. I'm crossing my fingers I get a load right away coming out of Florida, which I am fairly confident I will. It will deliver on Wed., though I will be there a day early. I should gross over $1,400.00 this week. Only time will tell.
TMC is a good fit for me. I'm single, older, so I don't party and have a good work ethic. I do miss my dogs sometimes.
