Download or read book How To Become a Truck Driver written by HowExpert and published by HowExpert. This book was released on 2016-09-23 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Let’s talk about the money, most truck drivers can expect to earn $30,000-$40,000 in their 1st year. I know some drivers who work as Solo drivers and decide to give up their apartments so they can stay in the truck all year long and save money. They still take days off from time to time, and stay with friends, family or rent a hotel for a few days so they can take a break. Once you have 6 months experience you may be able to find a job that pays more money. I’ve seen motivated drivers earning in the $60,000 range in their 1st year. The money is there to earn if you look for it. Too many drivers get complacent and they stay with the same company in the same position making low wages for years and years. Sometimes all you need to do to increase your income is switch positions within the company. If the company you work for doesn’t offer anything that will take you to the next level then find another company that will. I know a Walmart driver who earns $100,000 year and he’s home every night and weekend. Companies pay you in cents per mile (CPM) so the more mileage you drive the more you earn The bottom line is company drivers can make anywhere from $30,000 to around $100,000 per year. Stay away from company lease options, 99% of the time only the company does well with this type of position. They will make their lease program sound perfect, touting how you will be your own boss and make lots of money. Drivers often find themselves making just enough to cover the WEEKLY truck lease payment. If you want to truly be your own boss as a owner operator of your own truck then save up the money to buy a used truck cash or you may be able to find a 3rd party (not company sponsored) lease program. I have seen a couple of decent 3rd party lease programs, these will allow you to contract with any company you want. So if you’re not making enough money with one company then you can easily switch to another. Owner operators can make anywhere from $50,000 - $250,000 per year. About the Expert I have been driving a truck full time for over 4 years at the time of this publishing. I have been a company driver for 3 of those years and an owner/operator for a bit over one. In the 4+ years that I’ve been driving I have spent one year driving most of the lower 48 states. I haven’t made it up to North Carolina, and a few other states in the northeast but all of the others I have. For the last two years I have been truck driving with my team from Los Angeles to the Kansas City area and back. We did that twice a week. After doing that for about a year I was able to get a driving position working nights and being home every day. I did that for almost year. I left there because the company did a pathetic job of maintaining their equipment. I was afraid of getting stopped by law enforcement. So I left them and got my own truck to take care of. Now I am contracted with a carrier to move their freight and it works out a lot better. HowExpert publishes quick 'how to' guides on all topics from A to Z by everyday experts.

Download or read book The Professional Driver Graduate Course written by Greg Nelson and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-03-13 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New Issue ... ... ... Advance Release ... ... ... First Edition You're a truck driver student / recent graduate, with no experience, now what? Or you're a trucking instructor / trainer (or soon to be one) and you want to be the best, but nobody has shown you how. How about if you've been driving cars for years but still wonder why do trucks do some of the things they do? Or you're starting to learn how to drive a car, or teach someone else, and you're not sure what's going on with those huge trucks out there. What's the best way to stay out of trouble in an environment where everyone "must" get along, or someone dies? As a new truck driving student / graduate you are keenly aware that "no experience equals no job." Would you want to be the first patient for a dentist right out of school, no experience yet? I didn't think so. You'll have to "ride with" someone with more experience to get started. Or, on the flip side, you are the one with "more experience" and you want to do a good job with a "newbie" under your wing, but how do you translate your knowledge to the student? For experienced car drivers, being around "big rigs" can be a blessing and a curse. Mostly the curse part, but why is that? What are they doing around you, and why? And that thought is really bad if you are just starting to drive a car, moving around with all of those huge trucks around you. Even if you're teaching someone in a car how to drive, how do you "safely" teach that person the best way to interact with not just huge trucks but everyone on the road? How's it feel to have something like your CDL (Commercial Driver License) and, right now, worth "not too much?" You've spent a lot of time / money to get what? A good starting place, right? And that's good, except it's hard to translate that into the "better life," isn't it? Hard to justify, especially if you have a family, wife, kids, all depending on you, and right now you've got nothing to show except "tomorrow will be better." Eats at you, right? And similar feelings are as true for new instructors, too. Always the "What's next and how to make it better" questions / thoughts, right? Experienced car drivers will constantly feel "dominated" by those larger vehicles out there, with questions like "What's going on with these guys?" Compound than to a greater degree of "fear" and you have the feelings that a fresh car-driving student realizes, hopefully not up close and personal, where it gets real dangerous, real fast. A large retailer has been advertising "first year drivers earn $82,000,"; the national average is $50,000-$60,000. Your CDL certainly beats burger-flippin'! You've definitely earned the way to a better life! You can see your family on the path to a better future, right? The same goes for professional instructors, too. Not only more money, but a continued, progressive path forwards and up, as far as you want to go, maybe the CEO of a trucking company itself; it happens all the time! Remember (this comes from years of statistical confirmation): two of the most in-demand professions, want ads never stop begging for employees: nurses and truck drivers! And that won't change! In a car, having to "live-with" monster trucks on the road can become a welcome partnership-on-the-highway with the right explanation. That goes "double" for new car drivers as they begin to understand / co-exist with all vehicles early in their learning curve; it's easier "to teach" than "re-teach." Do what you've been doing. Change and learn nothing. Hope for the best. Or you can do what I did, over thirty years: learn, digest, improve, etc. Do you want to take thirty years to improve your family life when there's a shorter way to get where you want to be? Need to be? For less than a dinner-out, click on "Look-Inside" to read the beginning of your solution, or simply click the Buy Now button to change your life for the better, starting today, right now! Thanks and be safe out there!
