that's why you get endorsements, so you can make more.

Having hazmat with doubles/triples will automatically bump you into jobs a lot of other people can't get. LTL jobs specifically.

i know dude who sold his bodega and now drives trucks. Hes like 60. Works 4 days a week and pulls 90-100k. I dont think age factors into it. But it does seem like a young mans game if he hustles and stacks

I wish nothing but the best!

 

[Curufinwe]

Of course. The job is tough but well paid. And there is a shortage so the salaries are increasing.

I’m coming into my second year as a owner operator and it looks like I’m gonna make 120k by the end of the year. Home every day.

Why they trick ppl with college then? Ppl get degrees and barely crack 50k and that’s before tax.

Trades are well paying but can be physically demanding. Not everyone wants that.

Its not hard to believe, hell I know welders pulling in low six figures with overtime.

i start welding classes this winter.
i'm excited.

My brother got into this game a couple years ago...he seems to be doing well but the trade off is not for me.....on the road all the time

Dont sleep on the post office either.. I know a few dudes here that brought in over $100,000 easy by going ham with the overtime.. These nikkas be oding though, doing 12-16 hour shifts for 7 days straight and shyt.. And the job easy as hell..

My uncle owns 10 trucks, after he pays his drivers, insurance and truck payments he pockets 20k a week.

Everyone knows truckers make money but it’s not for everyone.

 

[Wepa Man]

Was small talking…i aint know it was like that…

alot of people are trying to get into it(alot of arabs too)

I know a guy that drives a small box truck he gets pay between 1200 - 2000 a week

 

[DeuceZ]

High earning potential in trucking...the maintenance costs though

How many hours is he working sitting in a truck all day killing his body? I wouldn’t do that for double the money.

if you're local it's really not that bad i drive nights and hit the gym for a hour 1 or 2 4 days a weeks but OTR might be different

My cousin got a six-figured contract with UPS.

I just spoke with one of my friends last week and told me he is going to make six figures by the end of the year.

I got other associates that are involved in the truck driving business. Independent dispatchers also make money.

my cousin work for UPS sleeper team and is on the verge making 125K this year and he only drives 3 days a week drives from chicago to arizona to houston back to chicago
