Historical per mile pay, can you help me with the statistics?

30 years ago 35cpm was average. 45 years ago was getting 26 per mile…

 

In 2013 I started at 25. A year later I was making 38. Now I make 70.

 

The trucking company I work for pay drivers 48 cents per mile. It’s little on the low side but they pay detention after 1 hour at $20 per hour even if they don’t get paid. They pay 20 per hour when truck in shop for repairs even in their own shop. They will pay for parking at truck stop no questions asked. They have guaranteed minimum pay every week.

 

How much is your 24 hours worth? That's the real cost. You're not free to leave the load and go. At night you are an unpaid security guard. The guy next to you dumped piss out on the pavement. It's not a lucrative career.

 

CPM isn't as important as assessorial pays.
I never really gave a crap about CPM.

 

Here's an example of assessorial pays and other pays.
Example:

• FREE CPAP testing and supplies

This company requires 6 mos. experience.
Marten Transport | CDL-A OTR

 

When you are sitting and waiting to get loaded or unloaded. It was never paid when I started driving but today lots of company pay you by the hour because you can’t leave or drive to make money. Some companies don’t pay it and some only pay it if they can collect detention pay from the place loading or unloading the truck.

 

I was able to find a company that today pays drivers 34cpm . Now I'm trying to see who pays lower than that
