Great plains transport not so great

sweetie pie you can make that anywhere today . Now if the bonuses are easily attainable to get you up to 85k a year then it would be an ok start.

 

Yea I do not believe that you can make that anywhere... here is the reporting states for OTR driver average pay in 2022

1. Nevada $50,920 ($8500/yr more than the average job in Nevada)
2. Mississippi $40,900 (Over $6500/yr greater than the average paying job in MS)
3. Kentucky $45,550 ($6500/yr more than the average job in Kentucky)
4. Utah $45,600 ( $6500/yr more than the average salaried job in this state)
5. South Carolina $42,270 ($6000+/yr greater than the average job in S.Carolina)
6. Arizona $45,430 ($6300/yr more than the average salaried Arizona job)
7. New Mexico $44460 (the average truck driver salary in N.Mexico is $6000 more than other salaried jobs)
8. Indiana $46,210 (Average trucker pay in this state is $5200 more than other job average pay)
9. Idaho $42,010 (Truck driver average salary is $4500 more than pay average from any other job)
10. Montana $46,100 (Average trucker pay is $4800 more than the average job salary rate in Montana)

 

I don't know how they come up with that info but years ago when I started at like 36cpm I made that. These days the average driver job pays 55-65 CPM. Great plains might be a good company treatment wise but the pay is just slightly below average.

 

Now shipex is a joke they only offer like 63k salary and work you like a dog

 

I’ve lived in the western third of ND my whole life. I don’t mind the people that come here to work. But for cripes sake, if you can’t drive on ice, go learn somewhere else.

 

I would wager if you walked into any random truck stop and grabbed 100 carrier drivers and asked for documented proof of w2 earnings in 23 over 80% will be under $60,000...

 

I would sure hope not unless you grabbed all first year drivers .

 

That's a pretty broad brush you are using. A local driver is probably a little less than a regional driver might make. Someone who stays out a few weeks is probably a bit more than the regional guy. And someone in a straight truck is probably less than anyone.

Your point?

 

I think it might be a recruiter for GPT. Most the time when a driver is lying they're saying they make a ridiculous amount but I haven't heard anyone claim so little

 

What hunting rifle did you buy, specifically?
