[@GrindModeJay]

Always made it a habit to run 6-7 hrs depending on the area before I take my 30 . Take my 30 finish off my last few hrs . I avoid truck stops unless I need food or to shower . Shut down at a rest area so I can wake up do my PTI then pull straight back onto the interstate repeat . If you not making money at prime company you’re doing something wrong pay-scale up to 49 cpm solo light weight no way you should be broke .

New driver here I'm making 300 a day local Monday-friday . I feel that's good for a new driver

[@rougeninja24]

300 dollars a day sounds great when I get into it when I turn 21 I’ll be happy making 100 a day lol especially being OTR I won’t have any attachments to have to pay for I’ll just live in my truck and save money up

LMAO!! U better tell these sweetmeat rookies. It's all about time management and dedication to your hustle! I took heed to your suggestion and I subscribe be safe out there driver

[@redkrawler]

If your making less than 1200 gross a week for 7 days of work leave trucking in the rearview mirror!

[@timmay2k]

Just by the title I can see this escalating quickly. Here's my take I was company driver for a full year bought my first truck been with 2 companies in my young trucking career been lease for 6 months and Im a fast learner. Some people get it some people don't it all depends on the persons dedication. Gonna be with Landstar for a year or so to get my own authority ppl think trucking easy but business side of things its challenging but I love the challenge be safe mane

[@oscarmarroquin4374]

Let me say something to all new truckers out there. I can't stress this enough, you don't have to put up with shitty companies just because you're a new driver, YOU DO NOT have to put in some time. Do not let anyone tell you otherwise.

[@edluisrivera3317]

Oscar Marroquin so what are your suggestions for a new driver ?

[@oscarmarroquin4374]

@@edluisrivera3317 it's simple. If you want to make money go with a smaller fleet company. They pay more than the big ones. I was make close to 2k a week after one month of training with my very first company. With in 6 months I was consistently making 2400 a week trucking isn't rocket science. You can't compare careers yo justify getting shitty money. Lol it's idiotic the do so

Local work is definitely much harder. OTR is just not for everyone either. Concept no matter how many years you been in the game, you suppose to work smarter not harder...

[@Walleyeaddicts]

The driving motivation behind every single person is what you need so why can't someone develop that type of money within the first year of trucking there's no reason why anyone can't the only factor is motivation

[@timetogorunfastmoveit8042]

I understand at the sleep at the shipper. But can you explain the Walmart I’m starting at KLLM for the new year I got my CDL. So I’m here to learn first. Big money come with time like you said. I want to learn the road

[@trevorpaul3288]

That is not how trucking works...if a driver learns to run and understand his clock he delivers on time ...what does the years experience make a difference in the price paid for the load?

[@rodneystewart8958]

That's the truth and most of the new drivers don't understand. You have to pay your dues they want to get out of school and become a owner op and get their authority

[@40vtr]

Simply put to all you rookies go for the highest rate you can get because of trucking being regulated even owner operators can only drive as long as you can at the end of the day it’s all in the rate rate rate so don’t hate poor trucker brown has cabin fever 🥵 as you can see here so be safe and hang on 🚚

[@Vendettagames95]

Knowing the ins and outs of the places you go, definitely helps and you will make more money than the person just coming into trucking. With that being said, I do think the pay should be similar across the board because you are all hauling the same stuff, all driving in similar conditions, all dealing with the same bs from shippers, shitty drivers, etc. It should come down to how well you know your routes, how well you manage your clock and how hard you run which determines your pay. Not that the guy that's been driving a few years longer gets 20 cents more than you

[@MolonFrikenLabe]

"I suggest you subscribe so I can tell you more and different ways you suck!" - TB. Haha! Love you man. Thank you for the advice. I don't even have my CDL yet, starting school soon, and I feel like I am harder than some of these drivers out here sleeping all day. We'll see what I can do soon enough.

[@Craigp9100]

Good video dude...one thing I realized from training students is, you can talk all day and try teaching all day, but one has to want to learn...horses can only be led to the trough...everybody won't get it or listen for that matter

[@ILLWHEELS]

I’m a 23 year old Sergeant in the Army I get out in 3 months I used my GI Bill to get my CDL from a trucking school so I can go anywhere I want. Found a local food company that will hire me with no experience making good money. Granted I have to unload the truck but eh🤷🏾‍♂️ and that’s no cap. It’s 2018 you don’t have to start off at the bottom. My bro with 3 months experience just got hired at waste management, you can make good money there’s no rule to how much money you gone make starting out when you have a shortage of drivers everywhere and I stay in TX. I got my CDL as a backup, I’m heading overseas to be a contractor. I refuse to pay my dues, fa what? No hating, I love the channel and the info he gives but it’s 2018 not 2007

[@bobnewhart4318]

I thank god my job don’t do that it don’t matter how long you been driving you get the same pay and my company didn’t start out short changing me from day one

[@rodneygregory2776]

Truckers should be making good money from the start if the industry is as short on drivers as they always say it is. There should be no “paying your dues” in this particular business. Driving is driving, wether you’ve done it 6 months or 20 years.

[@lowkeyfiasco]

That's bull, man. You start driving at the beginning of summer you still don't even know what driving is all about until you hit winter. Get a few winter's under your belt and then you're actually worth something. Until then, you're just holding a steering wheel. Go down a heavy grade on a switch back in the snow and tell me it's just driving, lol 😂

[@rodneygregory2776]

Palido Fantasmo and the new driver is going down the same switchback. And the new driver is driving in the same winter weather. And the guy with 10 years experience is holding a steering wheel the same way a new driver is. So what’s the difference? If there’s such a shortage of drivers like they always say then they need to pay new drivers comparable money as older drivers, or stop bitching about a 80-90% turnover rate and asking why the industry is in such a need for people.

[@rodneygregory2776]

In other words you can’t have your cake and eat it too.

[@lowkeyfiasco]

@@rodneygregory2776 if you can't see the difference between a noob going down a steep grade switch back in the dead of winter and a vet doing the same then there's no teaching you. Those conditions are what makes or breaks people in the trucking industry. There's a shortage because most people can't handle that kind of mental strain or the level of resposibility and your attitude about it is what gets a lot of people killed on the road. You honestly think taking a truck with a load down that switch back is the same as taking your Subaru outback? Companies aren't going to waste money on you until they know how you work under pressure. I can't believe this is a surprise to some people. All of this aside, if you're worth your salt, you can make decent money after your first full year, but definitely not before then.

[@rodneygregory2776]

Palido Fantasmo obviously you’re not following what I’m saying. Who said anything about it being the same as going down a switchback in a Subaru? Your comparing apples to oranges. I’m talking about trucks and trucks. Apples to apples. Im talking about the pay should be the same for doing the same job. Is the new driver risking their life any less than the older driver?

blah blah blah seniority is a joke, who really cares if you been doing it longer... same job same pay. day 1 to 30 years later this i how companies get over on you and people eat it up. So they dont have to raise wages with inflation because its not clear cut when wage scale varies so much. They did a study of trucker pay in the 70s vs now with inflation. they said if you compared starting pay back then to now with inflation starting rookie pay should be about 110k. and this goes for alot of jobs but people so hung up on the oh but im going to make more the next year dont see they never getting ahead. Because the cost of living just keeps going up faster then their pay scale. ya'll fighting with each other when you should be fighting for each other. Why theres no trucking union is beyond me. You guys need to organize and cut the name calling bullshit out.
