Highest paid trucker

"I am a reefer and I get paid three times more than the guys who post their weekly income here" . And thats just what he gets paid for backing up other drivers trucks as he is a PRO at that as per other postings on here , or he is a relative of Hugh Rowlins @ IRT

 

I'm a hhg driver and I pull in 300 to 320k gross and my take home is half that. But I am an owner operator and I watch my costs. I only drive 65000 miles a year also. I'm contracted to North American van lines. But I was a laborer doing hhg for 4 years first and only made 12 to 18 dollars an hour. More often than not i made just 12. It is hard ####### work though. I will drive from 3 am to 8 am load a customers household goods and drive into the next morning with a nap somewhere in there.

 

Your gross weight is 300 - 320K moving house hold goods for North American Van Lines? Almost sounds unbelievable.

 

I'm sure you didn't mean gross weight.

 

I'm gonna take a whack at this, Alex, for $800....I'm guessing Lovetotruck was being sarcastic.....I mean, I could be wrong....

 

I'm just quoting Yourmomsbobtail

 

I pull in 300 to 320k gross ='s $ not weight

 

Gross earnings. Not weight. As for weight I gross out at 60 to 68k and that's fully loaded which isn't all the time. I could probably get to 76k but I'd need a Kentucky triple drop trailer.

 

I make $29 an hour and all time after 8 hrs daily is OT, average 20 hrs a week OT,I'm at home every night and I work Local in North West Indiana, My Families Healthcare is Paid for( I Pay nothing towards it) and I get 5 Weeks Vacation a Year, Company Paid Retirement plan, I Work my Butt off, I Drive Food service. I average around $100,000 a Year.

 

Hemiram, are you a union?
