How much I’ve made in 4 months as a flatbed driver (Anderson Trucking Services)

Thank y’all for y’all’s patience with this video!! It’s finally here and I hope y’all enjoyed and it’s helpful for y’all !

[@williamnorwood]

i think youre doing great,im just grinning watching you,keep it up hand

[@tobeo8480]

Finally lol . That’s good I’m considering going with them when i get the experience

[@k00ltv69]

been waiting for this, plan on joinin them soon after I leave Werner

[@weirdkindofsexsymbol]

Real talk. Thanks for the video showing folks that they'll do pretty well, but not $200k a year at a starter company. I netted $50k while I was out OTR flatbed at a starter company in the full year I stayed there.

[@weirdkindofsexsymbol]

@@brewdog8568 $50k net (not "gross") is about $962/week, which seems about right for a first-year driver working for a big starter company, and for one who hustles. At least from all the folks I've talked to whom I believed to be for real. $750 net a week works out to be $39k, and for that, I would not have done it. This is for hauling general freight with no specialty, such as over-sized, glass, etc., and it's just my own experience.

[@MikeReid-cv2yg]

Flat bed is the way to go. I haul steel and i enjoy it. 🙂

[@kazithecanecorso2724]

There was a red ATS truck parked in the wal mart parking lot this morning. Now i remember where ive seen ats your channel

[@magicjordan6543]

Thanks,Great content 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@jamessmith8808]

I started Melton Truck Lines about the same time you started at ATS and you’ve made almost $10,000 more than me I need to come to a ATS

[@truckerlynnray7399]

good vid brother.

[@MrMunoz-xp2ry]

Working out of a starting otr company I made about 1k each week. Working with a flatbed company I can make around 1.5k while hauling less loads. Also the percentage pay isn't that bad. Though I wish my company had a cpm option like ats. But I also get to be home almost every week so. Gotta give and take I guess.

[@DarrkMane]

Which starter company & how much experience do they require?

[@bradleymuha4861]

@mr munoz which otr company

[@HabituaILineStepper]

Which company was this? $1500 for flatbed sounds good

I've been here two months now on the lease side and today i told my dispatcher that i wanna go company

[@MatthewSmith-vp7de]

Do you not like the lease side? Only asking because I’m actually in orientation for it right now… would greatly appreciate the input.

[@dcoco5692]

Appreciate the info bro! I’m a rookie driver with swift doing dry van and i’ve been netting just over/under 1k a week which is decent but still not enough in my eyes. I’ve been trying to figure out what other part of the industry to get into some better money and it looks like flatbedding is the way

[@210Truckiinn]

Oh yeaaa just use swift to get experience and move on there is a lot more money to be made! 👍🏼

[@cruz7391]

If you have more than year of experience in trucking my carrier XPO depending what state your in for me in Cali we a getting paid 37.15 and after 8hours time and a half is 55.34 an hour and if your doing linehual it’s 85CPM local and bring in home weekly 1200-1300 on slow weeks but you need all endorsement but A endorsement is not an issue with my company we are replacing all 10 speeds already home daily no OTR for shitty pay

[@adrianromerocodes3211]

@@cruz7391 dang bro for what company?

[@matthewdominion4292]

I thought you were going local ? This a good company I’m only at 3 months but I think when I hit 6 to see if ats will take me . Pretty good money, I thought they had a weekly minimum of like 1450 guaranteed

[@210Truckiinn]

I’m still looking and yea they do but it’s only for the first 3 months I believe though get whatever you didn’t make the first week of the following months it’s a bit confusing

[@matethiustransport1374]

I had to put my move to flatbed on hold. My blood pressure has gone up a concerning amount, so I'm staying with Werner for at least another 3 months so I have health insurance while I get this back under control.

[@TheDriller100]

you need to do some work and not just close doors. at least flatbeders do some physical activity

Facts

[@miguelmorales2367]

Bro ain’t no way specially if it’s flatbed I make 8k to 10k company driver

[@Vanessa11101775]

Given that we had the same fleet manager and roughly the same time with the same experience our pay varies significantly.

[@210Truckiinn]

I made less or more? 🤔

[@Neworleansickk]

I guess we got our answer 🙃

[@Brokewokejoke]

You can make more hauling fuel doing local

[@therealmvpee]

But it’s flammable

[@K0BLR]

So I wonder why they let you pass through orientation but when I went there Last april the sent me home after 3 days. Anyways, I've since applied no less than 12 times since then, and I left wagner trucking the tuesday after memorial day because I was getting sicn and tired of the hostile work enviroment. Ive been driving for 7 years now.

[@LiveNowBeFree2]

Why did they send you home

[@musclemania30]

Are you lease purchase at ATS or company? How long are you out for?

[@210Truckiinn]

I’m company and I used to stay out 2-3weeks

[@greg11786]

🙏🙏

[@jodysmuseo]

what’s the cause for getting a weeks check in the $400s. is it due to home time or load pay? thanks

Yea just a bit

[@iprtywicarly]

That’s excellent money bro! I started at Werner as well then moved to variant/usxpress and the difference is night and day! This definitely motivated me to move on to flat beds possibly with ats. I only have about 4 months otr experience tho. Do you think they would consider that enough experience?😅

[@210Truckiinn]

Unfortunately they will require you to have at least 6 months experience brotha

[@joseguerra484]

You can come on over to Melton Truck lines! They treat you right ! 💯%!
