Just remember, Uber drivers, and uber eats food delivery drivers will brag about making $1,500 a week, ask them come April 15th how great that $1,500 a week feels when they give Uncle Sugar his cut. Sure, all that mileage is deductible, all those car repairs are deductible, but unless they drove more mile than money they earned, they still gotta pay the piper.

If you averaged 2500 miles per week and never took a single day off and worked 52 weeks per year, that puts you at 78k gross per year. If you took 7 weeks off for hometime during the year (so going home about once a week for every 8 weeks worked) then that brings you down to about 67k per year. And the only company I've seen offering more than $0.60 CPM base pay is Crete/Shaffer with their new raise. And I would consider only taking 7 weeks total hometime throughout the year running pretty hard, that's about 3 days off per month. That's not much.
I think most drivers who are W-2 employee company drivers who do either regional or OTR Dry Van + Reefer pulling single 53' trailers are probably averaging about 65k gross per year. And yes, we should be paid more than that absolutely so hopefully the pay continues to increase where we earn what we are worth.
But I agree with Bryan, I would like to know what company is paying W-2 company drivers doing OTR dry van and/or reefer 2k gross per week or 104k per year. Not because I don't believe the poster who mentioned that pay a few posts back, but because I want to apply lol.bryan21384 and kylefitzy Thank this. -

I’d look for companies out there that may be smaller but are profitable and offering big money.Last edited: Oct 2, 2021
