After reading all the comments on here and other websites I am wondering why ANYONE would want to drive a truck. After you factor in the hours you'll make what, minimum wage. I have also heard of people making 750 take home right out of school every week on a dedicated route. Also know of someone who went to school. Got 1 month of training then got a 4 day a week dedicated route making 55k. And there are alot of other stories that drivers are making well over 40k so why is it all the negative crap on here. After reading this website only I'd run from this career. Its like all the veterans out there dont want any newbies on the road. I'd never do this job for less than 40k. Then again alot of the people on here only hope to make more than minimum wage is to drive a truck or they aren't smart enough to leave a bad paying job or find a better one.
