They are top secret, cuz if the word got out, other drivers would be saying they would be willing to do it for 98K, then 82k, then 74K, and pretty soon the pay rates would be in the gutter like most freight companies rates are!

It's impossible to make over 50k on your 1st year. It doesn't matter if you're company or a o/o (you have to know what you're doing to be successful as a o/o).
I also drive for the government. 60k a year to haul US mail. About 80k if you were to include overtime, night differential pay, sunday and holiday premiums. -
I can tell you that hauling gasoline for a major oil company you can make well over 50K a year. I was hourly at $23.50 an hour and anything over 10 hours was OT. The OT was there every week so you could work your normal 4 days a week pull an extra load per day for 12 hour day and then an extra day for OT and that comes out to $1645 for a 60 hour week. If you did that every week your gross would be up in the $85K range. Now the bad news. The major oil companies know this and are starting to close their terminals and shift the work over to a common carrier. It was great while it lasted.

Our company drivers would make 70 plus, but I dont think any of them are going to stay in company trucks for a full year, so its hard to say.

when I first started driving I worked for 7-Up, had I stuck with it til the end of the year (I started in April), I would have made $40K. It depended on the route. Then I drove for a company that delivered to McD's stores, it was mileage + piece count + hourly. Again, depending on the route, $40K to $55K first year was possible. There again, both are physically intensive jobs. My current company I've been with for 14 yrs, I grossed $50K + 10 of those years.

I'm currently making about $68,000-72,000 depending on the year... this includes bonuses. Not many of the other company driver make that up here so I'm happy with it.
