How much money does a truckdriver make in a week?

Answer 1

It all depends how much you have in the way of Expenses. When you drive a truck keep in mind that you need money for Constance repairs as well as tires and don't forget the diesel fuel. You should have a expense account set aside for all those things. Then after all they are taken care of then the rest is yours for savings.

As a truck driver though you will be spending more in repairs and fuel then savings. My suggestion is to work for someone and let him worry about all the repairs and fuel cost. On top of all that what about your health care and your SS contributions. Keep that in mind as well. Good luck.

Answer 2

Depends on the type of trucking job.
