Starting pay what did you make your first driving?

I started driving in Oct. '81, running team up and down the eastern seaboard for an owner-op out of Ct, .for $15 a week I was 16 years old and my Daddy was 1st seat. I droev at night and he drove during the day, till I joined the Navy. When I got out, I got a job driving flat bed for a pile driving crane operation. I made $7 an hour. Before I got out of trucking, I was an owner-op skate boarder. My tractor was a 220" wheelbase, cab-over International with a self-loader boom mounted to the chassis. I specialized in coast to coast transport of utility poles up to 105' long on a 48' composite spread axle. I averaged between $2 and $4 dollars a mile.

.22 for J B Hunt in 1994.

 

25% of gross to the truck. Started about 6 months ago, averaging a little better than $0.50/mile.

 

$.25/mile hauling for Arrow Trucking Co out of Tulsa, OK (Van Division) in 1998. And from what I see, pay hasn't actually changed all that much in the intervening 14 years.

 

.24 per mile pulling a flatbed for CT in 1995. My first check was around $450.00. Heck, on a bad week, I'm not far from 450 now!

 

Driver/Salesman for pepsi-americas in 2005. 100/day in base salary plus .14/case comission. Averaged about 800/week, gross.
