Any recruiter telling you otherwise, for example claiming you can make 50K your first year, is lying.
NOT always true. I'm a new driver and am WELL on the way to making over 50,000 my first year. To post such a general comment as, "Any recruiter telling you otherwise, for example claiming you can make 50K your first year, is lying." is irresponsible given this is a public forum and could be considered lying on YOUR part. :wink:
