>>53017332
I drop and hook hazmat over the road. Home most days of the week. Making 120k a year. The lot lizards on my route are toothless meth addicts though. Kinda sucks

>>53017332
>I live in Massachusetts
How many times did those MA state trooper fags fail you before you you passed the test?

>>53017332
I went on a family rape trip when I was like 12 years old and we pulled up to some truck stop in Iowa and I started wondering around and I went behind one of the trucks at the end of the line and I saw this big dude getting his sucked at the other end of the truck. And I just stood there in amazement for like 30 seconds then the guy turned his head and saw me and I ran back to my car. I was so horny after that I beat off for the first time that night at my cousins place and she saw me doing it when she walked into the bathroom. Always wanted to be a truck driver after seeing that but it never happened.

wtf what is with the wage disparity
I don't get it, not everyone can be lying about this. how 2 get money
>>53017468
I do not have a cdl, they are faggots though lmao

>>53017513
Massachusetts is the hardest state in America to obtain a CDL

>>53017586
I would be going to school in Connecticut idk if that makes a difference

>>53017674
You still gotta take the mass test if you live in mass. You going to NETTTS? If so, take the short class. Don’t let them lie to you

>>53017586
well it should be, its probably also one of the most difficult places to drive a truck

some of the highway onramps are comically dangerous in massachusetts even if you have a regular car. driving a big rig there would be a nightmare

>>53017414
>drive pick related and get to sleep in my own bed everynight
this would be fine

>>53019722
It’s not bad at all unless you’re in the Boston area with height restrictions and pedestrians that walk out into the road everywhere. NYC is the hardest place to drive a semi that I’ve ever been.

>>53017414
is the bed in the cab?

>>53019722
>some of the highway onramps are comically dangerous in massachusetts
And the on-ramps are no different than any other state highway. It’s just that massholes don’t know how to merge onto the highway properly.

>>53017332
Ex trucker here was a neet for 8 years highly recommend big company’s will pay you to go to trucking school. Make around 1200 min a week starting. Minimum most likely 1600
Stay on I80 for easy mode in warmer months

>>53017332
>Do any of you drive cdl for a living?
yeah
>How much do you make?
about $31/hr w/10-12hr workdays. sometimes 13-14. you do get overtime at 1.5x salary
>does the pay get much better based on where you live?
maybe. im in texas. LTL stays local and your back home by evening. you get paid by the hour, not the mile. by the mile is over the road on long distance driving.
>I live in Massachusetts
ew. get out of that shithole.

>>53017332
Just got my CDL A, less than 6 months solo experience. I make $1300-$1400 a week after taxes in a full week on average. I can get plenty of home time but choose to work around 3-4 weeks and then take 4-5 days off. My company runs east coast/midwest mostly. I would advise you to look for a company that is not based out of a big city. As long as you live in the general region of where your company runs it doesn't matter where you live, until your truck needs repairs/servicing anyways. You can read more on trucker report. There is always a trucker thread up on the auto board, but it's shit and you won't get productive advice. I'd say get your CDL now, but just know that the winter months are the hardest and most people who make it to solo end up quitting this time of year. Trucking is without a doubt not a career, it is a lifestyle. I've been in the military and thought I'd have no issues with the stress management, I was wrong.

Do not start for less than .52 CPM, make sure you get a company that has some form of per diem, look for extra CPM on east coast routes. If you have a GI bill DO NOT USE IT FOR (((SCHNEIDER))) or Swift, they are just stealing from veterans.

>wtf bros why do so many people lie about their income?!?!?

>>53020238
how many hours a week do you work?

>>53020238
>>53020068
do you guys get chains or snow tires for winter months

>>53019857
off ramps are shitty here man like 100ft long with a hairpin turn at the end for most

>>53017513
eh, most are lying or working crazy shitty hours, or have no home time.

It's not a job for anyone with even average intelligence. if you're dumb as fuck trucking might be a good fit for you.

>>53017414
So do I
You realize there are OTR and home daily truck drivers

>>53017586
Hardest to drive in to my god it was an experience drove in Boston mass area for a year with a 48ft I think I don't think it was 53

Also LTL companies like ups fedex r&l old dominion ect pay $100k a year and home daily.

>>53023678
I find it so hard to believe this when I see stuff like this >>53017513
Do they only hire very experienced driver? how many years?
Also, isn't that "up to 100,000" and the actual pay is based on miles driven? I feel like companies make job ads like that intentionally misleading

>>53023792
>feel like companies make job ads like that intentionally misleading
Well....yeah. They all do. This is exactly why absolutely nobody should feel bad for lying on a resume.

>>53023841
So do you know for sure if they pay that or not?

>>53017472
and then I fucked my cousin

Does anyone know what causes these figures?
>>53017513
there are people making 30,000 a year trucking why

>>53021291
Too many. Free time is pretty limitied, on the flip side I don't have bills. The cheese stacks quick.

No chains, I get some norwegian tire socks. I got stuck on 322 (i think) in PA this past week, they didn't work all too well, ended up getting tiwed up and over the hill and waited for plows to come by and followed them to finish my route.

>>53017332
I live in SoCal and made about 1000-1200 a week when I was with Schneider doing OTR. Then I went with YRC local P&D and made about 1200 a week but then got laid off cus no work, right now im enjoying the NEET life on dat dere unemployment. There's much more money to be made in trucking but all the good places want minimum 1 year of experience (i only have 5 months).

>>53026454
So you probably make like 60 hours a week and 1300 on the low end?
>>53027316
Did you make about the same?
That's kinda shitty pay for the risk and for living out of a truck, for me I'd say like 1500 is my break even point

>>53027350
Yea the pay sucked for OTR thats why I left. YRC pay was also kinda crappy but theyre one of the few big LTL places that hire with little to no experience. You can easily make 1500 a week as a newbie doing food service but they'll work you like a dog.

>>53023792
Well I'm not lying I get $35 an hour that 5x12 is 2100 X 52 I'd 109k not including some companies like UPS and FedEx do overtime after 8 hours daily. Most days can be what you desire personally I'm lazy and work 35 hours a week but I'm like the only one. Most truckers have to work 50 60 70 hours and they do so gladly. I'm also home daily as LTL is a turn point to point based companies.

>>53026345
When u start out u get kinda scammed
Also there are cdl school farms that will train you and give you poor wages on contract for 7 months but then you learn and are free to go anywhere it's what I did but don't recommend very stressful surrounded by retards and little practice before tests

>>53017332
Anyone here have a cabin cat? Can you redpill me on them?

>>53027653
I saw this too OTR pays less than LTL home daily companies it's so weird ig the benefit of OTR is you don't need a home or something. Personally I saved 20k going otr bc no bills no spending

>>53021425
If you travel through some states, it's mandated to carry chains. As far as I'm concerned, though, if it's time to chain up, it's time to park.
I drive for a smaller outfit in the southeast, driving team to California every week. The only time it seems like work is if I'm dealing with LA traffic or my shithead co-driver slams on the brakes or hits the air horn because he's a little bitch who lets his piss bottles roll around the cab.
I'm finding work with a solo company next month. This shit isn't worth $1100-$1200 a week.

Driving a truck is too scary.

I'm too scared of killing someone, getting in a wreck or getting stuck on some small city street.

No way man.

>>53027350
>60 hours a week
Lmao
On a good day where I make decent money, I'd break it down like this,
>10 hours driving, averaging 55MPH+
>15 minutes (.25 hours) fueling
>2 hours at shippers/recievers,
this IS NOT SLEEPER BERTH TIME, I mean using PC to get into doors, doing paper work, calling dispatch asking for the next load, dealing with the people at dockyards (some of them unfortunately are power tripping retards).

on any good day of trucking you are likely working around 11-14 hours between driving and dealing with the other unpaid BS, It is easily a 75-85 hour work week. If you want to make money in the truck and be a "runner" you won't have free time. I make a bit more than most noobies I guess, my company always has a load for me and I make .56 cpm, but at what cost? If I had kids, I wouldn't be doing this.

The major advantage is simply not having bills. I live with my GF and her mom for like 5 days a month.

I'm about to do Dollar General or Sysco. Wish me luck.

>>53017513
I'm guessing because he hauls hazmat and there are stricter requirements and certifications
