    miles driven per week times amount paid per mile plus border crossing plus drops plus pickups = otr income
    you can deduct almost all of your expenses for tools ets, meal allowance in canada is around 80 per cent
    I was told the average first year driver brings home 700 a week if they make 1000 per week

    The problem of course is the number of miles per week as this varies greatly from company to company. Then of course there are those days where you spend sitting and waiting for whatever and you are not being paid

    Locally it ranges from region to region with some getting a salary others get paid per day and others getting an hourly rate

    As someone else mentioned the variables are huge so if you are counting getting the same check week in and week out at least OTR it is not going to happen on a paid per mile basis

    That far north of Edmonton, are you close to Ft Mac? I don't know how the industry is going up there but as an idea for local near Calgary I can still get $20-$25. Now I do have experience so knock some off. (Yay my first post!)

    You can gross $50-55 K doing easy automotive parts runs, home every day type of deal, 10-12 hrs a day. You can make more OTR, but the trade off is not worth it IMO. So your take home would be about $800/wk.

    20-25 bucks....is that supposed to be good money? I was making that in 1990.
    Bloody ridiculous wages these days.

    My weeks look like this

    820 net
    980 net
    830 net
    1020 net
    740 net
    930 net

    If you want gross, just add 33% to them. That's how much I make a week.

    No 401k, no company health (I opt out and save by paying full price with Bluecross)
    ..etc

    I work a lot. I'd like to earn more.
