Many ethnic enclaves have programs that get people their licenses and they get hired by trucking companies owned by folks from those enclaves. In my experience, thise types of drivers get between $500-$800 per week, cash. The owner of the truck's pay varies based on how they acquired their shipments, direct to shipper or via a broker. Their is a huge spot shipment market for small companies, which fluxuates wildly, at times. Ultimately, the rates vary greatly. Now, you can drive for a big outfit and make upwards of 70-80k gross, depending on experience, specialization, endorsements, etc.
