I know nothing about trucking, is $6k/week good? If you have to buy your own $200k rig, and pay for your own fuel and insurance, that would get eaten into quick.

14 hours of driving at an average of 60mph is 840 Miles/day
figure 8 MPG ( totally guessing) 105 gallons/day. Our diesel price is about $3.30 as of today, so that's $340/day of fuel. 6 days of driving is $2k of that $6K gone.

At a trucking firm in chicago we just passed: 36 an hour fleet driver and 6k a week owner operator intermodal transport.
I wonder what intermodal transport is paying for docks in california.
Tempted to get a cdl, but I'm not partial to meth.

    I would probably not drive a forklift for $12 an hour even as of 2
    years ago.  I did better than that delivering pizza 20 years ago.

    Maybe they were advertising $12, but I bet they weren't filling
    those positions at $12.

    That's not all that out of the ordinary for seasonal material
    handlers. They pay more outward since they dont have benefits
