Minus taxes etc. 35 net maybe if you’re frugal. 700 a week take home. Walmart starts their drivers at 87 k a year with regular routes. So if you’re a driver and you are not bringing home 1500 a week after taxes just sign up for Walmart but don’t quit your current job until Walmart calls you, may take several weeks. I’m sure their turnover is low. Good luck

","text":"It’s 700$ roughly for the national average and 1500$ is what a good company will pay if you run 3000 miles a week roughly. Just rough numbers but my point was to illustrate the disparity in pay in the industry. Look around and make what you’re worth","replyToPid":298054}

","text":"My gross is high but once you deduct all expenses and taxes I’m in the same area as the 90,000$ a year guy. I’m guessing he’s a Walmart driver. It’s a really good gig sounds like. The biggest difference is I’m an o/o and he’s a company driver. I’m taking all the risk and not much different result than the Walmart drivers. ","replyToPid":299841}

{"replyTo":"","text":"I only took three weeks off through out the year.  As a Marine a day is a day and the reality is if you are a driver you don’t make money sitting on your a$$. Is this an easy job? It really depends on what you consider easy. I love it it gives me the chance to make a good living and I don’t have to interact with people unless I choose to. So it’s a win win for me. Also if you are smart and learn what the company pay period is you can take a day or two off every once in a while and not really loose any money. \nThe simple answer is yeah you can make money but you have to be driven (no pun intended). You can’t sit around not working. ","replyToPid":0}
