    If you go to school on your own, and drive locally your first year expect around 20-25k.

    If you do on job training expect 13-20k.

    If you go to school on your own, and buy your own truck, expect around 40-60k. But put most of that back into the truck as operating expenses.

    Truck drivers usually start making 40-50k after their first 3 years of experience with a clean driving record.
