Who would they be? I don't just mean in terms of CPM either. I'm talking as far as idiling, tarp, bonuses, essentially the most bang for buck. And I mean as far as actually being on the job and driving the truck, because if I'm not home then to me I'm still at work. Even if I'm not driving and sleeping in the truck or motel, I still consider that work.
Any suggestions? Is there any resource that shows average paychecks for different companies? I live in new jersey
Edit: forgot to mention I'm looking mainly into flatbed and tanker, since I've heard they are more physically demanding. But local is also something I'm interested in, even if its 10-12 hour days.
Highest overall paying companies for new drivers?

Your other thread answered most of these questions.

You are going to be sorely disappointed no matter how much you make if you are going to add in all the off duty and sleeping time as working hours.
Say you make $65,000 a year, sounds OK, take 2 weeks at home every quarter, so that leaves 44 weeks of working.
That comes out to $1477.27 a week, not too bad.
Daily that comes out to $211.04
And at 24 hrs that breaks down to $8.79 an hour.
Look at it however you want, but if you sit and think you are out here running hard for $8.79 an hour you are probably going to be POed most of the time.Thull, LuDiesel, BUMBACLADWAR and 3 others Thank this. -
If you could only drive without stops,downtimes etc the money would be good even without overtime pay but you can't.
Per diem help this calculation a bit but when you take into account that you basically have no life I don't think it's worth it.
It bugs me more and more every week and I am just trying to make it till December.pattyj Thanks this. -

Just counting the onduty hours you work is averages around 10.00 an hour.I did Some math work with a couple companies and that's what I got figured after taxes.It really was disappointing.Its better to find a driving job that pays by the hour rather then by the mile.
