Iam getting ready to quit my $18 hr factory to and go into trucking.I have had some people tell me there is no money in trucking and I will get lied to about pay and recruiters saying Ill gross $950 a week.Thing is I just bought a $20,000 truck and still need to pay that along with other bills,can I do that starting out?Iam need to gross at least $700 a week is that realistic? I have been talking to Knight and they will pay for my training to get my CDL while at training I will get pre tax $400 a week and then $400 a week while with a trainer for 4-6 weeks.Any suggestions on how I can make good money starting out in my first year? Any trucking companies that you had a good/bad experience with? I need any advice I can get I feel like the requiter is talkng a good 1 and sounds to good to be true.I just dont wanna quit my job and start driving and only take home 2 -3 hundred a week.Thanks in advance !
