I drive a dump truck here in the Chicagoland area for 23 years now and would like to relocate to the southern cal. area any info would be appreciated.
How much are you guys getting paid per hour for driving an end dump in california?

I made$ 22.50 an hour driving for oilfield company in Bakersfield Ca.

I appreciate the comeback I was hoping the hourly rate would be better than Chicagoland prevailing wage for dump truck which is 36.20 hr. since the cost of living is higher there.

$12-$15 per hour. There is money in LTL, food service, and petroleum. Not $36 per hour though, not even close. Keep in mind SoCal faces downward pressure on wages for unskilled work due to "certain reasons", where as Chicago is a bit further from the southern border...

Indeed $22 an hour is not much in california and the fact 22 million mexicans live in so cal does have an effect on wages.

Yep for 22/hr to work you need overtime pay and work 60+ hours per week. That what I'm doing. 5 days 12-14 hours then 2-3 days off. Houses in my city cost 600-700k. It's hard to "live the dream" down here as a single income even making 80k... And that's without kids...
Camelclutch Thanks this. -
Wow! I guess I had better just stay here and deal with the cold.
