  • I’ve been pretty busy with the new job and since we’ve transferred over pants it’s been even busier which is a good thing. Let me know what you want to see from the new job. Some of it is interesting. Thanks for watching

      It depends on what your base pay rate is and how much work is in your area vs available drivers. If there's a driver shortage and a lot of work, then you could get mandatory overtime and bring home around 1,500 per week. But you're typically going to be looking at 23 or 24$/hr or so. You're going to need a class B CDL (class A works as well) and have a valid dot medical card.
