Shortage Truck Driver In Washington? Or Is It Too Good To Be True With Only 3 Months Exp In Washington Can Earn $86k ?

HI. just do quick research that based on J.B Hunt Driving Jobs, It only needs as least 3 months experience for local and averagely earnings $86k-$95k. I assume that there are shortages regarding truck driver or is it quite difficult to obtain CDL A in washington? or is it too good to be true?

Probably int he TGTBTrue category. Read the fine print (I'm just guessing here) and you might read that "Our top drivers make..." next to the Big Money.

Rookie drivers will be more in the $50k range. But Kobe Bryant had to start somewhere.

It is Written that "Drivers in this position over the last six to twelve months have averaged annualized earnings of $95,000" and required only 3 months experience. Just curious and wanna make sure only =).

Hello Aldo.

One of the many things about trucking that is confusing to people researching the trucking career is the pay. This is an extraordinary job. It requires extraordinary people. Some folks fill the shoes nicely, most really struggle to be consistently productive.

Our pay is performance based. We get as good as we give. There's plenty of people working this career who are above average. There's also the below average group. That's why that advertisement gives you the "average pay."

They never say you can jump right in there and start earning that level of pay. I earn above average pay in this industry. It's because I've studied it and applied myself diligently to the practices that produce results. It's on me to set the level of pay I want to make. That's how it works in trucking. We don't have salaries, we are rewarded according to our own measure. We determine the outcome.

You're totally new to this. Don't be stressing over which jobs pay the most. Get in here and learn how to be a top performer. That's the ticket to the money. You can and will waste a lot of your precious time if you are overly concerned about which company is going to treat you the best.

My concern was, and still is... how can I produce the most revenue for this company. Once you've figured that out, you'll realize your earning some great money.

It's all about you.

I am a new driver I work for Roehl and plan to stay here for at least 2.5 years I think the biggest mistake a new driver can do it be picky where they start with and leaving shortly after starting out with a company. Remember this for new drivers you are not hired until you are actually in a truck assigned to you.

That is the about the range for our P&D drivers, so I do not think it is as unrealistic as others here impy.

I agree. I did 80k my first year in trucking. Which was local. So it’s possible to get within that range. Doesn’t mean it’s easily attainable though. You gonna work your rear end off for it.

I did a hair over 80 my first year as well OTR regional. I have very little interest in doing local.

Sorry for late reply. Yeah I`m still totally new in here and sometimes overthinking too much. Thanks for the solutions about that! Btw I love your journey especially riding with your daughter! Best Regards Mate

I'm so glad you found those threads when my daughters rode with me. Those were great times. I still have fond memories of bringing them along with me.
