    Take last year as a company otr guy where I made $130k, assume I 'worked' 75 hours a week for 52 weeks. That $26/hr. When you do the math properly it's closer to $36/hr.

    This rear running night line haul I'm looking at $44ish an hour - including commute time.

    Work smart.

    Hope his shoulder isn’t dislocated from that pat on the back.

    I am a piece worker- a truck driver paid by the mile. Time has nothing whatsoever to do with how I am paid, with the occasional detention exception.

    People who make too much sense don't get replies. You get replies if you do the typical trucker fussing about the same topics lol.
