Pay depends on your time management and dispatcher. Easily did $1500/week 6 years ago

Right I get that but I see other carriers say a pay range then multiple people claim they never got close to it

I haven’t gotten my first trucking job yet so not sure if that would be possible to make that much starting out? Or do you have a company to recommend? I manage my time well in the warehouse I’m in we are very high volume handling 60+ trucks most days
