I'm making around $1,050 every week working 6 days. Is this good pay?

Map shows 2 terminals in Georgia.
One Chemical and one Petroleum.
I don't know if the map is accurate or not.Last edited: Dec 14, 2025
Trucks66 Thanks this. -
Are you happy, and does it pay your bills?Big Road Skateboard, TripleSix, Numb and 5 others Thank this.

You tell us.......does it do what you need for it to do? Can you make ends meet with that amount of pay? If you're satisfied, then it's good money to you. I'm guessing that's local work. Local work, with very few exceptions, has a little but lower earning potential than OTR work.Last edited: Dec 14, 2025

That might have been decent a decade ago. $30/hr should be the absolute floor for local hourly wage work and go up from there for stuff like hazmat tanker. That should be like $40+

At 48 hours per week that means your getting around $21 per hour do you consider that a good rate?

if you can live on it, then it's enough.
never understood the always fighting for more and more, when what they have already is enough.
but, with some people it's never enough.bryan21384 Thanks this. -
Here's a question you need to ask yourself. Is it enough? Are you satisfied? Do you have to fight city traffic everyday? Is the 8 hours all you're at work for? You mentioned a 14 hour clock and I'm not sure why you'd even mention that.

Kinda' like TV show "Gold rush" No matter how much gold they get, it's gotta' be more.firemedic2816, Numb and Rugerfan Thank this.

If you're not making $1600-$1800 a week pulling reefer units you need to walk away immediately. There are other companies paying Top dollars for reefer. Me personally I prefer Dryvan. I make $1650-$1800 a week.Kenworth6969 and Lane=addict Thank this.
