Knight a year ago wanted 1 1/2 years experience, now you go onto their website they only want 6 months experience! No one wants to stay OTR it doesn’t pay enough for the time out if you have family! But if you can stay disciplined and live in the truck you can save a lot of money No rent, no electricity bill, no cable bill, no garbage bill, no water bill All those bills add up!
When i was otr, i would get a 250 miles load that took up my whole 14 hour clock. I made 150 that day. Hourly job gets me 300-420 for the same hours worked. Plus daily shower 🚿 and be home. No pee bottles, loud horns when I'm tryna sleep in a no apu truck
man, there’re so many different accounts out there. So many aspects. You can find something fits to your self even in OTR. Just make your homework and spend some time to find what you exactly want.
@@MoonDoggy.1970 well, than its worth it...maybe u didnt understand my statement...thats something deff worth comuting for, also your speaking in past tense soo ima going to assume that tha cost of living was almost 100 percent lower than what it is today....soo hell yea if i had that gig i woulda drove that far too.
@@TruckingUnfiltered yeah, I only average like $2.2k a week. I know I can make $3k+ a week for an OTR company driver but I am willing to lose money for more home time
I did the box truck boogy for 3 years...The only good thing about it is when you go thru scales, You look like just another johnny homeowner moving his stuff. But Id rather be in semi driving, If im going to drive for a living.
Stay local for now bro OTR sucks right now you will be even more miserable and now with winter on it’s way no miles cause freight rates suck 2000-2500 miles a week that’s just about equivalent to what you are making money wise locally but you’re your own man I’m just trying to advise you don’t go OTR just yet
I'm local and have a 15 - 20 minute drive to work and make $34.70 an hour. I'm holding on to this job for as long as possible.
Congratulations bro (all jokes aside) it shows a lot good work ethic to maintain a job for six months
Keep it up
👍🏼 👍🏼

Maybe you need the experience to go solo or dedicated account, but Knight hires rookies, they even have their own CDL training/school.
@@Richard-tq7gj dude! CR England starts off $90k a year. Knight is scamming you.
It also depends on where u live . Here in the NE there's many local work . AZ there's many local jobs I don't know about pay

That’s all that would be on my mind all day, I have to drive a hour home.
U work more local if u don’t count the sleeping in the cab time

broo theres no way to justify driving an hour each way to comute to a job, what ever it may be unless that shit payin 6 figures to start.
When I was making $42.75 an hour as a Union Ironworker I’d drive from Bakersfield to L.A.& the high desert every day for 25 years.

@@412hwc I just retired 3 years ago so prices were a little lower here in Cali.
@@MoonDoggy.1970 well u didnt only do that job for 3 years did you🥴? either way, thats good money
@@412hwc No 25 years 3 year apprenticeship & 22 years working in the field all over the country as a journeyman Ironworker/Ironworker Welder.
Hey Agustine, you ever tried to go on the ag side of truck driving?
I did the exact same job your doing in Montgomery Alabama.
@@jimmybeasley6008 it’s chill just doesn’t pay enough where I’m at
@@augustineramos_yeah that’s why I had to leave myself.
You like the box game over semi??? Pay better not aski g figures.
you should really give transit a go in the bay.
It’s the same. You know when you start and never know when you’re off. Apply to apprenticeships. Fuck a CDL
Local is the way to go
Like you said before, you make more money in local
More money per hr but not more money per week ussually
@@TruckingUnfiltered yeah, I only average like $2.2k a week. I know I can make $3k+ a week for an OTR company driver but I am willing to lose money for more home time
@@leepialong $3k otr? What freight are u moving? Team or solo?
@@TruckingUnfiltered General Freights with occasion HM. few years ago, they were paying about 0.95 cpm solo company driver.
@@leepialong You aint gonna make that money right now. Stop living in the past. Let's talk about today

How in the world do you know how many miles he's gonna run? You don't. I'll still run 3200 miles a week all winter long but does that mean you are? No
@@TruckingUnfiltered calm down super trucker so 3200 miles in reality you probably averaging 2800
@millan8837 I average 3200 ...I run recaps and go to the same 20 facilities so it's pretty efficient
@@TruckingUnfiltered congratulations keep up the good work you have been acknowledged please keep trucking and move on
Ramos see you Monday at knight orientation for pre hire for ports division. Come thru
