I started on 28K but realized too late that I could've negotiated higher, but I was so new back then. Met a few drivers saying they earned around 35K to 40K upon starting.

It depends on the size of the company. It ranges between $30k-$96k.

It depends also on the drivers' skills and how big the truck is. The starting should be around $40k.

Hi fishes,

I think I am slipping into depression. My life seems to have no meaning and all I do is work. I don't get time for myself or my family, friends and loved ones. But I can't leave my job and take a break as I need the financial support.

I also feel I am earning way less than my peers which makes me feel like a loser. 4.5 years of work-ex and 16LPA.

What should I do? I need good wlb but also need money badly.
