[QUOTE="wire, post: 10342007, member: 40681"]You are pretty much correct in what you say. It is both difficult and futile to try to make a comparison. I am a bit out of touch with company pay rates as I have owned my own truck for the last 5 years so obviously pay my own salary. When I was a company employed driver I grossed $70 - $75k which was subject to tax of course although long haul drivers can expect a nice refund from Canada revenue every year which can easily be $4 - $5k. I have no idea if or by how much the average salary will have changed by now. Even if you convert the CAD currency to GBP it is not going to answer your question because you are not going to be buying anything in the UK with it so the comparison is pointless.[/QUOTE]
