Doing research before jumping in headfirst. Could you please tell me, what is a reasonable pay to expect in the first, second and third years of trucking? I'm looking into a program at a state college, the admissions guy told me $42k to 46K the first year and the upwards from there up to around $80k by the second/third year. He said typically this would be with 10-14 days out with 4 days home. Is this realistic? I've read several places that say you're out 12-14 days and other places I've read 4 to 6 weeks out. That sounds like a lot. I realize there's no set standard but is 2 weeks out a more common scenario compared to 4-6 weeks? Thanks for any info.
