Should it not be your thing, you can resell the stuff, settle in a place you found that you liked (and you would've scouted them out, too, while doing this road trip) and you'll have stories and experiences and knowledge altogether too few others have.
@RedVelvetMGTOW tcdl?
my bad lol i meant CDL im just high right now
Most truckers do not earn 6k a year, least ways until they get the job experience. Tanker is usually the way to go.
@Xychotic yeah i always have a back up plan if that doesnt work out
6k a year?
I'd hope most truckers don't earn 6k a year
6000 a month mayble less with taxes taken out
a yearf lol my bvad thought you said month, sorry brain fart
And now my spelling, bah.
Well, let's assume they take out something obscene, like 40%.
Your take home is roughly $3600
Something obscene, is essentially my tax rate <:why:480186116222353410>
(I assumed 40% because that's basically gov't spending of GDP)
Actually, let's make a daring thing and cut it in half to account for whatever benefits you have.
damn is it really like that?
In some cases once you have the experience, usually 2-3 years, and you own your own truck. You can clear upwards of 3k a month, but you have to include overhead, cost of fuel, repairs etc. My brother hauls fuel and make 98k a year.
That's why you don't want to be an owner operator.
That's a lot of risk you're taking on for yourself.
True
damn i never thought of it that way before, thank you guys for the advice
Owner Operator is a shit deal
And, here's the real kicker.
with all the tfm cat people coming over pretty soon we gonna be the cat zone
just realized that
I'll bring the pooper scoopers.
Everyone's still hiring truckers. You can go on a road trip for however the fuck long, then when it's time to re up on your moneys, you sign on, haul a few loads (lulz) and then get back on the road for your own travels.
Most of it is otr, local usually does not make you a lot of money. Unless you are hauling Fuel, and some hazmat.
You do what you can handle and plan accordingly.
So true my friend.
oh like own my own semi and make hauls when needed
This is basically a 5 to 10 year plan.
No, no. Not your own semi.
oh ok
You can stay employed with a trucking company and come back and work for them when you need cash.
oh ok makes sence
A big loop while your ride rests in storage and then you have money, touch up any details and back to semi retirement.
You could practically work for half a year and travel for the other half.
i like it and i would be training for hazmat driving as well
Could you imagine a sweeter gig than 6 months of whatever you want every year?
