    $59,624 gross for this coming year. Not bad considering $14,460 of that is non taxable per diem pay. I'm home every Friday. Pull tankers regional. I just started with this company too.

    Some really wealthy truck drivers on here. Glad no one exaggerates the truth (wink, wink).

    I wouldn't make enough to justify the extra work of being an owner operator at $160k. I'm in the mid to upper $200's. IF I would go anywhere and do anything and limited my time off I feel confident I could hit $300k but life is way too short for all that.

    almost gross $90,000 for 2013 and 2012.... Usually always around the $80,000+ mark.. Monday to Friday 40hrs/week (plus OT).. That's with about $20,000-$25,000 in overtime pay. Overtime of about 300hrs in a year.. Overtime after 8hrs/day... Union.. If you include my benefits in my pay I am around $100/hr..
