In 2005 I made 27500 driving and I was making 300 a week April and May in training. When I left Stevens due to emergency, I was off almost 2 months. January to April I was on 190 a week unemployment. So not bad for a rough first year. After Stevens I was on zone pay, 750$ for run to LA and back to Mt. Airy NC. 5-6 days. 800 to Northern Cal and back. 900 to Washington and back.

I understand old school and g town. I'll do my best and buckle down for a year. Things should turn around and get better all in time. Thank you

Exactly, you will have to have some staying power to make it into a decent paying job. It's all on you to put it together and make it worth while. Many try, but a lot of them go back to the internet to air out their baseless claims against the trucking industry. They never understood how important their personal efforts were. They thought they could make a lot of money just by showing up to work everyday.

Put on your A game relentlessly and you'll succeed at this. Play hard or go home - It's the path to success out here.

Check out Online Transport. I just posted a thread about them. No flatbed. But I bet they hire from your area.
