Average hourly pay

Stopped trying to do that long ago. Not even worth worrying about.

 

I do much better now then when I started; still not as good as some.

Driving OTR dry van for Swift I started at .25 CPM @ 2000 mi/wk (2000/50mph=40hrs)= $500 + (4hrs/day-Load/unload). Estimated average misc weekly pay (Hazmat, etc) $40 week. Total average at Swift a week was $540.00 gross and worked 65-70 hours in 5-6 days = $7.50-8.00hr. Was home 2-4 days a month. LEARNED MORE THAN ANYPLACE ELSE - HOW DO I PUT AN HOURLY VALUE ON THAT?

Driving regional dry van for Schneider I earned .29 CPM @ 2300 mi/wk (2300/50mph=46hrs)=$667 + (3 hrs/day-load/unload). Estimated average misc weekly pay $75. My average here was around $750/wk and 60-65hrs/wk in 5 days = $12.25-12.75hr. Was home 7-8 days a month; weekends. LEARNED EVEN MORE.

Driving local flatbed for current company .31CPM @ 2000 mi/wk (2000/50mph=40) = $620 + stop pay ($6/stop x 30 stops/wk= $180/wk) + non-driving hourly pay ($10hr x 10hrs/wk=$100) + Bonuses ($50/wk paid quarterly) + 401k match ($100/wk). Total = $1050/wk and 50hrs/wk. Been here for a short period of time and have been told by 5+ year veteran driver that slow weeks will be $850'ish though average will be $1000 and 50hrs/wk = $20hr. Run M-F, home daily and weekends. I AM NOW LEARNING FLATBED, WHAT HOURLY AMOUNT CAN YOU PUT ON THAT?

 

Running OTR and being out a week or two at a time, I only worry about what gets deposited on payday.

Spend more energy persuading the dispatcher to get me home on a regular basis, ie: whining. . .

 

That one is easy,,,$26.40.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,$39.60 overtime,

 

Thats a good deal!

I look at it as what i make per day.As long as i keep my average of 200 to 250 per day i am happy with that.
We do NO waiting on loads or to unload period.

 

Yea pretty easy for me also......clock in...........clock out

 

19.25 while driving..... 7.50 while parked at customer.


Non Union....figure it any way you want.

 

$19.53 whether I'm picking up/delivering, unloading, in the hostler, or washing my truck. I still have $3 more to grow into as time moves forward too.

 

Most guys who try to figure out what they make per hour will only get disapointed and sad. Most make less than $17hr and have to be gone everyday...... but it is what they have chosen to do.

Now for anything over $17hr and being home everyday in my opinion is a good job and the benifits should match......

what I make as an O/O.....seems like I am making a killing till I add in the cost of operations and maintance, fuel ect ect. But I avg about $90hr before costs and about $60hr after all everything is in. Only good thing is I get home every weekend and work when I want, where I want. But I have no benifits and pay for my own medical
