","text":"Not to be b!tchy but at $11/hour over 40 hours, you’d only bring home $440/week before 10-15% taxes.  Even at $15/hour it’d be $600/week.  So, $1000/week is well above average. ","replyToPid":175837}

","text":"I wasn't being technical haha just an example. maybe I should have said be a construction worker. i brought home well above a grand a week to work construction. Its whatever the point is, if he is an experienced driver he should be bringing home alot more than a grand a week even as a company driver. Technically, its alot less than a grand a week if hes doing cash advances and only taking home 1700 for two weeks. Cash advances are evil","replyToPid":176681}

{"replyTo":"","text":"To be clear, I’m not saying you’re wrong by any means — especially with cash advances.  Unless you are working in a trade or have an advanced degree today, you aren’t making much per hour in a “normal” living and career situation.  Which is why so many are turning to trucking thinking they are going to be millionaires.  \n\nAt the end of the day every one just wants to be a happy i-d-i-o-t!

{"replyTo":"","text":"First off, it doesnt really matter what I think. second, I think all of us truck drivers are underpaid for the amount of work most of us do. next, there are so many factors, I can not tell you what I think another driver should be making. I just met a guy last week who was making twenty five cents a mile. he approached me and asked if he could ask my opinion on a few things and if I thought that was fair. that's another story. anyways there is so many variables to decide what a driver makes. years of experience? tickets? accidents? doubles? triples? tanker? hazmat? twic card? home daily?  company driver? o/o? the list goes on and on. so to answer your question what do I think he should be making? i have no faw king idea. i was only going strictly by appearance. and that's wrong because nowadays you never know. but he looks like a seasoned driver that has put a few years in. and if that statement is true, then he should be making alot more than eight hundred bucks a week. In my opinion. But you never know what another driver has or does not have. I consider myself a rookie. my uncle taught me to drive when I was seventeen. I came out of the gate runnin chasing money and I'll never stop chasing money and miles. sad life. But it's what I do. I say rookie. because in my opinion anyone with less than twenty years is a Rookie. I have the up most respect for the older drivers that have been doing this over twenty years. I learned in a cab over, over twenty years ago. but I've only been driving straight and solid for a  little over ten years.","replyToPid":0}
