Hourly is the way yo go
-
Flatbed is over 50cpm plus tarping, load securement pay etc.
It's been a few years since I've done reefer but I think it was 45-48cpm plus the inevitable detention pay.
Both of these are with at least two years experience .
No idea on the cattle hauling.Coffey Thanks this. -
figure 2500 miles/ week. maybe more or less.
-
.30 tops!

It will vary wildly.
When I drove someone elses truck here, it was an even buck a mile on the road, round trip, hourly around town.
I now have some health problems, so pay a swamper 500 a round, which equates to .50 a mile, round trip.
His friend just got on running the same loads for a major carrier, and gets .52 a mile to drive, which seems cheap to me, but he is union, and I am sure his bennies are above that rate.
Unless things have changed, anytime I drove a bullwagon, the pay was good, but you were also responsible for any crippled animals.
I know things have changed, but when I ran a bullwagon, once loaded, we did not stop, not sure how they do it these days, teams maybe. -
Barr Nunn is advertising 56 cents a mile. Before any bonuses.
Coffey Thanks this. -
As far as Ive been seeing bullhaulers never stopped. Once the animals are on, straight to the meat plant. And how they rolled too. I always got out of their way because the governor was not that high as they were.
Wages were close to .50 in 2001 when I stopped OTR. However you will find many being paid the same tired 0.34 that has been around decades. (Inflation creates a need for ever more dollars each week to maintain a lifestyle.) therefore .50 is not bad but on the low side today. Remember we don't have a driver shortage we have a wage shortage.QuietStorm and Coffey Thank this.
