I see that ColdFrostyMug never answered the question.... another internet BBR. :lol: :roll: :lol: :roll:

This is the question I'm waiting to see answered.


What SS had to say is pretty accurate. If you drive truck hourly and make an average gross wage of $70,000.00, you are working a minimum of 55 hours a week, if your wage is in the $25.00 an hour range. There are not many compny's out there paying that sort of wage. If your doing the food service bit, where you get paid by the mile + your stop pay & cents per pound's unloaded pay..your gonna work hard for $70,000.00.

I've never worked for any of the Williams companies. My younger brother worked for JJ Williams Tanklines for 4 months. He left them for far better working conditions. That was in 1988. I know several folks whom are doing the O/O routine at System Transport. They are all happy with their routine. One guy I know, lives in Deer Park WA, owns 7 trucks, all leased into System Transport, and he enjoy's his fishing time. He also spends time cutting hay on his farm in Chewelah.

Back in 2000 when I devloped Epilepsy and retired due to it I was working for Earl Henderson. I was a finsihing trainer and solo driver and in the 10 months I gave myself Epilepsy for my 25th birthday nice present Huh :x :D . I made 48K in 10 months there that year and was on track to hit well over 55K that year. Now at current scale I would be making in the area of 75K and not killing myself doing it yeah at times I had a trainee in the truck but when I got them I got them after their first trainer stated they needed some more work. If they survived me they in a year were a 1st seater if not they were on a bus. I was tougher on them than any other trainer in the company but they were told FLAT out I was their last chance they flunked me they were gone and 80% of them did not make it.

What's hiliarous is that in 20 years, the pay at TWT went up .03 cents per mile. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Oh but they do run fancy PeterCars. :roll:

Brad M, if you want to make some real money, home everynight and every weekend with your family, and paid for all of your time on the job then hit me up with a PM, good buddy. If you wanna pull for .36 cpm 20 years from now then listen to these supertruckin' diehards.
