I cant even imagine being this retarded. This is like having a legitimate business idea and then asking a middle schooler to vet it.

[Tornach]

It depends what you are hauling OP.
Drivers hauling hazardous loads make 6 figures.
Flatbed drivers make a decent amount too.

Imagine wasting your life away driving a truck.

You can't pay me enough.

[Nonsense916]

If you work for a company and drive their truck it’s like 55 cents a mile give or take

If you own and operate your own truck it’s a lot more,that’s probably where you start making good money.

Repairs are expensive af..a lot of truckers will say they made 20k/monthly but that’s before the repairs and fuel costs


If you own 4-5 trucks and dispatch them you’ll be ceo 10k/day

There’s money in it for sure.

Those trucks cost around 130k. And then there's the cost of employees. Not profitable brah.

Truckstop lizards. some of the newest trucks have nice sleeper booths but I guess you need money to afford them.

[TuskV]

Decent compared to mcdonalds but its at the sacrifice of any decency of life.

Lol at putting drivers in new trucks...you put them in used ones that you bought for $40k srs

[gmenfan40]

Being a truck driver is a fairly easy career, where you can make some good money. You just have to live on the road and be alone all the time, to make good money.

jay masters checking in from the road

company I work for owns a logistics company too, CEO has an island

So do it for a couple years, save up enough to buy your own truck, then hire someone else to drive it. Thats a path to success for people without a college degree, but most tradies are dumb and probably buy jet skis instead.

[SmithMachineGuy]

Monster or regular truck?

Some brah in scottsdale just bought a brand new $60M+ top of the line gulfstream. Saw it at the airport.

I asked a pilot there and he said the guy owns a logistics company. Must be big money in that game.

[NoScrubz]

Is it true that most truck drivers are meth heads?

[me.]

roughly $1-$1.50 per mile profit after all expenses (fuel, repairs, insurance, etc). this is if youre an owner-operator. Most truckers do 15-20k miles per month. if youre driving for a company, youre looking at around 0.60 per mile.

There's a massive shortage of drivers right now. I looked into this.

How are you finding drivers that want to drive some ghetto 40k truck? There's company that are paying .65 cents a mile and will put you in a brand new volvo with a fridge and satellite television.
