    what really matters: what is the average per week pay of a new driver? I don't want miles driven or cents per mile...make it understandable for corporate people. thanks.

    I'd say average pay is around $500 a week take home, considering the slow periods and the great periods. More experienced drivers and drivers that haul specialized freight, or even trainers will make more. It all depends on freight and mileage.

    Well when I ran it was mostly good freight around. So subtract a hundred or so for the modern administration.

    I would just like to bring home $445 a week to put me where I am now. Anything above that is money in the bank. I have a $1500 a month pension which helps. I wish school would get here.
