But even though this is true, we would advise you not to get into this job just because of the money. That will not sustain you on the long run. That is not the way how to become a truck driver.
This sooner or later will not be a motivation enough and you might eventually not be happy with your job and quit. Therefore, a true passion for this job is needed. Loving this job and enjoying every moment of it is what will make your days feel as if you are not working at all.
Even though being a truck driver eventually offers you a great income, do not expect that amount from the very start.
But, this also depends on many factors. It depends in which company you work, as well as how many hours you work. And, another important thing is, it depends what kind of truck you drive and what are the goods you are transporting.
Of course, driving a dry van and a Class 8 truck will not be the same. Not to mention if you transport oil or hazardous materials in general. That will instantly make your income bigger. As well as long hauling of any kind of goods.
