Just out of curiosity as well .....i just found out a co-worker of mine's husband is a truck driver that does trips as far out as Ohio and Missouri.

She was telling me he makes around $8,000 round trip and that it takes about a week to do so.

Is that how much you can make drivin big rigs? [Eek!]

Well my buddy works as an owner operator with Fedex Ground, he makes about 6k on average per week doing the longhaul runs, he spends about $1200 a week on fuel/insurance and another $1000 a week to the co-driver, the rest is his pay.

As a driver only you won't make that kind of money, have to be an owner operator. I get .30 cents per mile plus bonuses and docking pay. So I bring in about $800-$1000 a week right now, which isn't too shabby.

Thanks for clearing that up for me.

Plenty of $$ to be made out on the highways!

Your pay is not to shabby at all [worship] [Big Grin]

Good luck and be safe out there [patriot]

I can legally drive for 11 hours a day and work a total of 14 a day, up until I hit 70 hours for teh week then I must take 34 hours off from work before I can start again.

I work anywhere from 9-14 hours a day.
