A quick question about Prime for Daniel: I have heard talk of a waitlist for flatbedding. Any truth in this? if you are interested in going the flatbed route is there any problems or challenges in getting into that division? Thanks you, I hope I'm not thread bombing here.

Thanks you man! I really appreciate it.

Thank you Brett! I really appreciate your responses. They really do help!

Thanks Brett,

It seems like you enjoyed your time out of the truck having a great time. Just in your opinion if savings were the goal would it be possible to save twice that?

Hey Man I just wanted to ask what exactly mean by meticulous?

Thank you man, how much would you say you spend on food per week?

Hey Mother Trucker, Thank you for the info! I appreciate it.

Hello Everyone, Pre rookie here with some pre rookie questions. I have been trying My hardest to piece this together on TT and other sites but thought I should just ask explicitly. I am a college grad with an FLoad of student loan debt. I have decided thatbfor me the best thing is to pay off this debt before moving on so I can be free. Aside from finding jobs in my field I have been looking into truck driving as an option. I do live driving and have delivered in agriculture and drove a tractor. Though nothing like otr just a bit of exposure. My questions are what are average typical weekly expenses for food and other (assuming the driver has self control and is doing everything right). Just for estimates: I am single with no kids, and am interested I'm flatbedding, if I were to do everything right with my money how much does everyone think I could legitimately save a year on a truckers salaryFrom your experience and knowledge what are average first second and third year salaries for flatbedders?is it the typical 30-35, 40-50, & 45-55 respectively?. Sorry about my typos I am using a ancient phone. Thank you. Also is per diem pay only earned income that is untaxed or is the driver paid additional 59/day on top of the earned miles and bonuses and all other money from driving?

Cool thanks everybody!

Hey MG, Thanks a mil! My question is this: if you are coming from an otr flatbed background, which I'm not but am planning on so preparing for the future, how would you go about finding ltl positions? Thank you, Justin
