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

This is not RV's career, this is his money until he's got what he wants.

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?

Red, in all honesty going company is usuall smarter, least ways imho. Spend 2years company, this way you learn the shipping lanes and other ins and outs. Most people go broke as owner/op and have nothing to show for it. Also fracking is paying a lot of money for truckers with experiance.

that would be my dream
