Average Dry Van Per Mile Pay 2025

I'm at 63 cents... traditional otr all 48 states 2200-3000 miles per week avg ....

21 - 25 days out .....no hazmat

 

If my recent job prospects. I saw between .50 to .65.
Pay is higher in the midwest than the southwest

 

I keep an eye on the market just incase. Ive been seeing around .50 to .55 is the average for an experinced driver. Bennys run the gaummet from decent to forigen owned 1099s would blanch as well

 

In Midwest 1099 companies pay 65-70 cpm with 2500-4000 miles. Don't know about proper companies

 

When I left schneider a year and a half ago top out was 52 cpm, 5 cpm quarterly bonus, 2 cpm annual bonus and $10 an hour for all time logged on line 4. Worked out to effectively about 74 cpm to the hub. From what I see, most of the megas try to keep their drivers topping out between $90-105k, new drivers about $60k - slice and dice the pay structure any way you want it.

Running linehaul nights - 80 cpm and $35 and hour.

 

I get 60 cpm, 16 years experience, but to be fair i pull dry vans and reefer. I think the market for experienced drivers falls between 55 and 65 cpm for OTR long haul. Regional varies, I've seen higher cpm, but lower miles, and I've seen lower cpm, but higher accessory pay.

 

I always did better with percentage instead of miles. Sometimes just a bit better other times close to dollar a mile....

 

Ive found percentage pay tends to be better overall as well personally. As rates go up you make better money, though if rates crash you lose it. With CPM i always see them play games with the pay. Harder to play games with percentage. Percentage with a fuel savings share or bonus is the best of the lot in my experince. Had one job that would give YOU the lumper fee if you unloaded your own rig as well.

You get an incentive to run hard namely more loads more pay (true for CPM as well to a degree), the pay keeps up with economy better long term. And if you have a fuel bonus as well its just the cherry on top. Though you alwaya gotta be careful with percentage unless you see the bills they can say a load only paid $1000 and pocket the other $2500 they didnt tell you about.

 

I'm at a bottom scale LTL terminal and we make .7875 cents per mile just under $35 per hour in the south. Longest run is 650+ miles, so those guys make $2800+ a week with accesory pay. Some of our top scale terminals make .85 I think.

I am hourly so I made $1.52 a mile this week on 1405 miles if I average it.
