if im willing to stay out 3-4+ weeks at a time. How much money could I make in my second year of OTR trucking?

Question

im so excited about starting driving. i think im going to spend my first year OTR working for Werner.

Answer 1

Werner is a good company. I enjoyed working for them, but it was about 12 years ago--I don't know their current scale. Contact me off line for more info you may want.

Answer 2

well that depends, are you to be paid by the mile? or by the hour? Is it your truck? or are you a company driver? Let's say you will be driving a company truck and are paid by the mile.. If you drive pretty much all the time, no sitting at truck stops looking for lot lizard company, and knock out about 500 miles a day.. you do the math.. Most 7 to 9 hundred net per week.. But there are a lot of variables.. Good luck..

Answer 3

IT DEPENDS ON HOW MUCH A MILE YOU GET ALSO DO YOU GET PAID FOR WAITING TIME AFTER SO MANY HOURS AND IF SO AFTER HOW MANY HRS. ARE YOU PERMITTED TO TAKE TOLL ROADS AND WHO PAYS THE TOLL. WHAT ABOUT BREAK DOWN TIME , DO YOU GET PAID. ALL THESE THINGS PLUS MORE YOU HAVE TO CONSIDER. GOOD LUCK.
