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.
How much do you make per hour, is it more than minimum wage?

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.
