If you have a good friend and want to lose that friendship, drive team with them 😏
True as fuck💯
Strengthening bonds through mutual stresses of braving the trucking industry
I drove with my best friend for a year. We’re currently looking to team up for another year.
ONLY BEST REAL FRIEND, WILL MAKE IT AS TEAM-TRUCK DRIVER JOB!!!😅
It's not how much you make. it's how much you'll get to keep in the end, is what matters.
True that, true that
I was an owner/operator for 17 years. Averaged about $150k per year gross. Had to pay all the truck expenses out of that, including fuel.
I'm now a car-hauler making the same $150k, with zero expenses. Plus a pension and tons of time off(that's paid).
Car hauling sounds like a jackpot the more we hear about it!
Touch freight ESPECIALLY in the food industry is rather rewarding. Tough on the body but good on the pockets. Last year was my first full year and I made $113,000
Impressive! Stay healthy out there though, you don't want to strain yourself too much in this field
I am planning to take my truck license. Please explain what touch freight is?
@swarupsimon touch freight means you are physically handling the product in your trailer, whether it's unloading or loading by the pallet or case.
@@madhatter536 thank you so much
5 axle tanker driver on the dalton highway up to prudhoe bay make 1800 a run which takes two days. You can knock out 10 to 12 a month depending on the weather. Its a brutal job but if you want big bucks thats a great option if you have the experience and you are willing to move and grind
What some good companies up there and any of them do owner operator I always think about moving up there but I like hauling fuel and would to stick with it
@@yo9758 Alaska West Express was the main one that hauled fuel up there when i was there. I think Big Dream did some but dont quote me on that. Alaska west had owner ops as well but I would definitely stay company because those trucks take a beating.
Thanks for sharing!
Livestock hauling beats literally all of these except oversized. But it's up there if not better than them...
Really? Interesting stuff!
@@NorthAmerican-Trucking-News
Probably true but especially with large livestock can be very hazardous. Need to be aware that trained on how to load and unload animals that can weigh up to 2500 lbs and can kick very fast.
Never fun having to lock yourself in the dog house and hoping the aluminum gate can keep you safe from a very
angry and large member of the bovine species
@@Jf10-b2b bison bulls are always a fun time
@@TaylorBruce-fx2eh never done those... Beef bulls are bad enough.
@Jf10-b2b oh man you ain't living then! Load up by PA sk, sleep at the border, cross in the morning, go to brush or pierce Colorado, sleep a few hours then unload at 4 or 5 am.
Touch freight … I make 3k a week=about 160k a year.
😊Dominos Pizza all-day long!!
Most truckers are WAY TOO LAZY to do touch freight. Especially if stocking.
I would do it, 3 years of experience here, where do
I apply for it in Atlanta and how long it takes to reach that level of pay ?
@@user-fl7pw3vl3t
You won't make that much to start because you won't be efficient enough until you get more experienced. A lot of those routes are also done by seniority too which means you won't get them for awhile and you'll get stuck with the hardest least efficient routes.
Thanks for sharing! That's pretty good!
@@jfkst1 You call it lazy, I call it I got paid to haul it here I'm not touching it for a whooping $25 after driving days to make an appointment.
I switched from LTL to owner operator. I got on with a pretty nice gig hauling furniture to delivery points. Home daily and off weekends.
That's one of the benefits of being an owner operator. Choosing when you want to go where.
Please I look forward to hearing from you thanks
About 2 months ago I started doing concert driving. It’s not for everyone but I absolutely love it and the pay is good. It’s a nice change from seeing how many miles I can get every single day.
I’ve heard it is the best. Only problem is your class A will be useless after 3 years unless that company can put you in one every once in a while. No insurance company will allow another trucking company to hire you without recent class A experience. I know it sounds stupid but it’s true
@@CForged I think I understand what you are saying but I’m not sure. We drive all of the time. When tour season slows down in the fall we just go back to driving our normal Monday-Friday job whatever that may be. I hav my fingers crossed that I’ll be able to stay on tour all winter but if I go back to my old gig for the winter it’s no big deal.
@@darylb5564 my bad I mis read concrete lol 😂
I heard some celebrities will treat their tour drivers exceptionally well! It must be a great experience to work with some of the world's biggest stars
@@NorthAmerican-Trucking-News I’m limited in what I can tell you because I’m very new so I don’t have a great deal of experiences. I can say that we are treated very well. I would go so far as to say we are spoiled. I’ve never worked in an environment anything like this
You can't compare owner-operators gross income to a company drivers income.
We're just comparing fields in general as similarly, a driving instructor wouldn't be compared to either
In Chicago there are beer delivery drivers making 150 a yr and Sysco foods & US Foods drivers are making 150k a year. So the food industry is the highest paying job for the hardest working truck drivers that don’t sit much and go home everyday. UPS is also at bringing in at least 150k a year for a guys working 60 hours a week
That's the most positive thing I've seen involving Chicago in a while
@@NorthAmerican-Trucking-News one thing I forgot to mention is the foods jobs are usually forced to max hours at 14 or close continue everyday. A lot of injuries are happening due to little rest for the body
I’m confused…was thinking about getting my CDL but then I see RUclips videos saying trucking companies are closing shop and laying off drivers all across the country?
Get you cdl bro if you want to make 1k a week local job depends where you are first you will be paid less
A lot of it is just poor management on the part of the companies. Many companies are still very much active so don't let it dissuade you from joining if this is what you're passionate about
Can you send me link were I can apply
Hey Ronen ups after 4 years is $170k a year, definitely the best company to work for
What's the work ethic like?
@@NorthAmerican-Trucking-News it’s unionized by the teamsters, you either start as a feeder driver or day cab, getting paid $28/hr plus Overtime, free benefits or you start as sleeper team at 90 cents a mile as the top pay! home every weekend! after 20 years they can pension you too
I drive for a private fleet and made over 120k last year. Funny thing is he didn’t even put my company up on private fleet portion lol
That's pretty impressive!
With all those numbers, to receive the most, how often are you home?
That depends on who you're working for
What about food service ? I work foodservice and my first year I’m making $110k a year
Woah!
Forgot concert tour driver and Department of Defense (Government driver)
I think those are more... special cases
What is the best way to get into Trucking get your CDL by yourself or get it through a company like Swift
Govt grant..ask your local trucking schools for help
Thank you
Please spend the money and get your CDL through a school and then try to apply to company. Don’t go the way most people do and join a big mega company and work for them for 1-2 years for a “free” cdl. Also get into a good division that can lead into high paying jobs that can be done locally or regionally like tanker, flatbed and hopper bottom. Don’t be like moronic masses that get into trucking and just pull dry van or reefer trailers
@@user-FTRU6GJthank you so much for all the info do you have no idea how much I really appreciate it
It's hard to say which is "best" it really just depends on your circumstances
As a driver only best I ever made was $550 a day 10-hour shift and I'm talking that's wages I drove someone else's truck
If you made that squarely every day for 5 days a week, you'd average 132,000 a year. That's not bad odds
@@NorthAmerican-Trucking-News that was a good year I work seasonal hauling logs
People keep saying how much they make.... How much do you take home?
Greater question
you talking about the average earn it's in us or in canada?
US!

You’re way off for TDG tanker. You’re estimate is low by over $100k. I work in this field. I was offered a job running heavy oversize loads for $250k. As an owner operator in tanking you can gross 700 - 1 mil for a single unit.
Think your numbers might be off elsewhere too. Just fyi. Where did your numbers come from, glass doors?
What if you're an exception?
I would like to know where he got these numbers I've been driving for 30+years and have never made more than 50 to 70 thousands dollars a year
you must not have a good work ethic 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
@jonobel498 yes I do just have not found the right company
@@user-nv2ps5pv1rthere are a lot of predatory companies. Find a union job and stop getting taken advantage of.
Your crazy... I MADE 60k my first year... and I'm at 120k as a company guy now...
I don't think a truck drivers make what he is saying even in any sector of trucking. He is giving numbers based on Google search not facts.
Are you hiring owner operators? Looking for a new gig.
Send us an email to recruiting@ettransport.ca
@@NorthAmerican-Trucking-News I sent an email this afternoon 👍🏻
As a company driver I take home around $2500 no touch.
Thats awesome! What do you haul or what sector if u dnt mind me asking??
A week or a month ?
If it’s a month is cheap
@@ssingh8166 moving van
Taking home is like 3k gross a week and I’m sure you’re working all the time for that. 14 hour days anyone?
Per week?
It would have have been nice to have said the names of the company.🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
These aren't company specific, it's niches within the trucking industry itself. As long as you're in one of the aforementioned fields, you should expect to be making that amount regardless of which company you are working for
Hey Ronan, what about container haulers?
Well in Chicago they work 14 hours a day at about $23hr avg for every hours. $1610 a week 83k a year and that is 70 hours a week. It’s a horrible way to make money in trucking. The DOT will love to pick on you too
Great one!
120k/yr hauling fuel. Home daily M-F days with 1 sat a month.
Man that’s like having a bomb strap to your body.
That’s very tempting
hl i want be same fuel hauler i apply almost all company no one hire do you know any company hire for new fuel hauler experience
Loves or Pilot, depending on your “Safety record.
If u have a clean record your good to go!
Yet; don't even apply if you have any questionable on your record.
@@lightwarrior2705”clean record” is always a vague statement on applications because they never really state exactly what they are looking for
It’s still cheap labour, how many hrs a week and time spent on the road, under paid.
I suppose it can be seen as such
What about household goods
I don't think that's a trucking niche in and of itself so much as it's a niche commodity. Private fleets and teams and the like are likely to transport those
Who do you work for
We are ET Transport
@NorthAmerican-Trucking-News oh wow specialized carriers 😶
Dude... putting specific w2 jobs in 7 spots and an owner op in first... come on man thats 2 completely different things. Owner op shouldn't even be on that list. Just sayin...
Why do you believe so? These jobs are all related to the industry, just as number 10 is driving instructor
@NorthAmerican-Trucking-News yes absolutely they are related. But an owner op is not just a job, its a buisness with overhead expenses as you well know. Driving a tanker as a company driver and making 100k a year is a job. No offense but Its not comparable at all... just imo
Why wouldn't he? After all he's trying to recruit guys to work as owner operators / lease operators at his company. Also comparing company drivers with GROSS owner operator instead of net is another nifty way of making it look like the owner operator is making a killing, when in reality majority of owner operators make less money than company drivers.
@SpeedFreak123456789 maybe if you put an owner ops net money up there sure... but its still not the same thing regardless. Company driver has zero investment. Get a sign on bonus if anything lol anyway its two completely different things. And if an owner op is making less money than a company driver they are doing something seriously wrong or working for a shit company and need to make a change.
You always avoid INTERMODAL division 😢😢😢
We'll look into them some more
Solid post, here.
Gentlemen: women know these numbers, as well. Do not become a target for a predatory female or get her pregnant or marry her.

Ash? What is it used for?
@@NorthAmerican-Trucking-News oh lord Ronen 😂😂😂 I substituted the word "ass" with "ash." So I meant to say I'm hauling ass 😂😂😂
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Lies I was a trainer I made less then 50 k
You made under 50k
@@user-FTRU6GJ yes
Without benefits
This is a case where you are being severely underpaid, because your position is worth much more than that
@@CForged without benefits for a good few years after we hot big on staff we chose health care over a 100doller salary increase
Wood loggers?
Very positive industry actually, I also hear that they are much more likely to be home every day
Where’s the household movers? Lol you missed it
Oh! We definitely did!
Bullhaulers
How much do you reckon the average trucker makes in that field?
Was making +$300,000 AI O/O Suicide Jockey during Trump 🇺🇸 now I barely break $100,000 AI O/O Skateboard due to Bidenflation 💩
