You have to read between the lines on these ads from truck companies.

top solo $82,295 This is the highest ANY solo driver has made. He probably has worked there forever and never goes home.

You would have to run 3957 miles @ .40 cpm EVERY WEEK to make that kind of money.

student grads earn up to 42k 1st yr This is the most you will make in your first year. You can do better if you do your homework.

Yes, you can do better but it will be hard and take some luck. I got lucky. Right out of school I got hooked-up with an O/O and a dedicated team run that paid $1020.00/week. Out 4 days and home 3. That's 53k/yr. Not too bad for a rookie.

A couple of companies I can think of, that you will get close to $50k as a new driver, would be TMC and Maverick. Those are the two off the top of my head.
