blackwolftrucker is telling the truth. been trucking 14 years owend a truck and 2 trailers for 5 years make over $100,000 being an owner and after everything you pay out a company driver can clear what you do.Trucking isnt worth a sh#t no more.

This is so true. I am a company driver and have been for 6 years now. Company drivers they say can make 45 to 50K a year. I have YET to make more than 38K in a year. There seems to always be something keeping me from getting that high, and that is the companies. They are in it for themselves no matter HOW much they claim to care about drivers. Good information and accurate facts. Keep up the good work.

@TheBenji1983 I like what you had to say! ha.. just did 8 years in the Army and was a motor Sargeant.. now Im retired from that and just got my CDL.. hopefully it goes well.. Im excited about it-- and Ill b OTR as much as possible to make some cash!! ;)

If you do some simple math, it is easy to see that there is no money in driving OTR. Lets say you stay out for 3wks at a time. 21 days x 24 hours in a day is equal to 504 total hours. Lets say that you make $1000 a week x 3wks = $3000. So take that $3000 you made in 3wks and divide it by the 504 hours it took you to make it. 3000/504=5.95. $5.95 an hour! Are you kidding me? For all the grief and aggravation. This is more for the company OTR drivers not O/O's. But for some it is not far off. SAD

Where I work there are 10+ drivers making 100k plus a year out of the 46 road drivers we have. It takes an established LTL company and years of senority but it is possible

You can make alot of money doing truck driving jobs if you work the hours, More hours you put in more money you get.

operate a vacuum truck or at least a dump truck...better then long-haul..i hear long-haul suxs, big time.

Truck driving is not as glamorous as it once was, you never get sleep, never get paid much (after road costs) and it's hard to find a parking place when you run out of time to drive.If you drive a big truck for a living, you will end up making only about 300$ a week. There are over 700 pages of new laws that are coming out putting even more stress on the drivers. If you are thinking about driving, for a living, you should learn another trade if possible.
