I’ve been driving a dump truck for a paving company for 5 years now (2 years in a class b and 3 years in a tractor-trailer dump), in the south. I understand that while many jobs in the north pay more, they get laid off in winters. If I moved north about how much should I expect to gross (assuming that I don’t lay out all the time and show up everyday)? The pay can vary wildly; if I get the money load at the end of the day, I’ll get more hours versus if I’m in line at the plant and they call off for the day and clock out early. And some years are busier than others depending on if we have any big jobs or state roads to pave versus normal county roads (on big jobs we work 12+ hour days and weekends whereas we typically work around 10 hours Mon-Fri on normal jobs).
How much do asphalt haulers in northern states typically gross per season?
