    Supercharge the pay is different for every driver here .where i can make $1200 one week and $500 next week. i base my pay scale from monday to monday 7 days.... plus it depends on where your running too. i run mostly Midwest and westcoast .so honestly there is no avg pay to many veritables.....

    at .32/.36 @mile you need to run a lot of miles to survive and there is a lot of down time in food grade tanks that eat up your clock

    I don't go anywhere unless Ive either been off the clock at least 10 hours or I somehow have enough time left to get somewhere and get parked. If I get loaded at midnight, my 14 has already expired, and it'll be 7am before I'll have 10 hours off duty, then I'm not going anywhere before 7am. Period.

    First of all, whoever told you IRT pays .32 a mile is either full of s*** or they haven't been paying attention. Drivers get .35 now, right out of the gate, if you have no tank experience. I don't know if your starting pay is higher if you have tank experience. I didn't, and I don't remember if anyone in my orientation did.

    Pay goes up and down about as much as a cheerleader's knockers when she's on a trampoline. There is no average because your miles are never the same from one week to the next. 3000 miles a week is not at all uncommon for me. But then, I dont turn down any loads or do any complaining. I take what's available and thank the lord above for being able to have a job in this economy. I pretty much keep to myself when I'm loading or unloading somewhere where there are other IRT drivers around. I'll say hello and all that, but if they start complaining about something, I walk back to my truck. I'm not gonna listen to it.

    By the way, the driver of 791 is a man who dresses as a woman. Dark red nail polish, blonde wig, and all. Saw him at leesburg yesterday morning.
