Sure, you may have a $70,000 a year salary but how much do you actually get to keep after taxes? Driving a truck with a CDL enables you to keep more of your earnings compared to most other occupations due to incredible tax breaks for CDL Drivers.
CDL truck drivers can deduct almost anything and everything they purchase because it is all work related. Some items included in the list for CDL drivers: Laptop computers, internet service, satellite radio and subscription, cell phones and bills, all toiletries and cleaning products, uniforms and boots, tools, topped off with a $52 dollar a day per diem for meals.
The list of tax breaks for CDL jobs goes on and on. Put it all together at tax time and a truck driver with a CDL keeps almost every penny he earns. This gives a truck driver with a commercial drivers license more buying and investing power over a job with a similar gross income. It's not how much you make that counts, it's how much you actually keep that is important. CDL Truck drivers keep more!
If you are in the market for a career change, you may want to give getting a CDL some serious thought. There are CDL jobs in this industry that pay $65,000 + and you can be home everyday. You can be home with more of your earned income to do the things you like and can afford to do.
Other benefits of getting a CDL include Job security. There is a CDL truck driver shortage that is growing larger each year there are always CDL jobs available. CDL drivers can live anywhere they want and moving to an area where the cost of living is cheaper is one more benefit a CDL driver has over a normal type job.
There are plenty of CDL training schools available for reasonable prices. I would advise you investigate exactly what type of CDL job would fit you best and gather as much information as possible before getting your CDL. Your goal should be to get the highest paid CDL job in the fastest time possible! Good Luck!
