    Hey all, was curious of some of our OTR 6/7/8/9/10 car carriers could share what they are getting paid by their companies. I'm aware of what O/O's are making, but wanting to know if OTR company drivers are getting paid by the mile, or getting paid 25% of the gross/net of the loads they're pulling. Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for the reply, I am hearing the same, but was wondering if the drivers are "actually" getting paid what the company says they are grossing/netting.

    If you aren’t making $100,000+ you’re working for the wrong company or you aren’t moving enough cars. So if you running hard and aren’t hitting that number “plus” you are selling yourself short.

    Nice, and this is company driver, not O/O right? I'm assuming making 100K annually, your running non stop for the most part?

    I don't haul cars ,but it was something I've always thought about because of the pay . I just recently talked to a owner of a company with about 13 trucks from 5 car local guys ( making about $1700 a week) to OTR 9/10 cars hauling from the northeast to the Midwest . The drivers made $2500 to $3000 a week . They started at 25% and went to 30% in one year. The loads averaged $10k one way and they were home by Friday morning. He had all nice first Class equipment and just ordered 2 brand new Peterbilt 10 car rigs at $300k each. He seemed like a straight shooter,pretty nice guy. He said he just signed a 5 year contract with some big company locking in very good rates on those otr runs.

    Yes I’m talking about company drivers. Five to five and a half days. You just have to run your hours and learn you companies lanes. It’s very doable. Just be willing to learn and work for it.

    Whole lots car haulers must be slow or work for the wrong company. Because my guess is maybe 10% are making 100k +. And 50% in the 65k range.
