If you’re company driver how much $ do you make

Go local, I make $1800ish a week and I'm only out two nights week and spend those in a nice hotel. You could also probably find a better paying otr job, I know there are guys that do quite well for themselves otr.

 

I started in February (after 20 years driving buses) at .36/mile, up a cent at 3 months and another at 6 months. I’m starting a dedicated position tomorrow, no more mileage, straight salary $1200/week for 5 1/2 days.

 

So why should a company pay you (a rookie, an inexperienced driver, a high insurance risk and probably cost) big money? You must be one of those drivers who think you'll get rich driving

 

Never mind the making, watch your spending.

 

I net between 1k and 1700 local a week depending on how hard I want to work.

33 an hour ot after 40, after 10 and automatic on Saturday. Double time Sunday.

I don’t like working too much so usually like 45-50 hours a week I’m good.

 

Im one to load a box in Yakima, run reefer to Boston in 6 days. Awesome.

Money takes care of itself. I need a day to bounce back to Washington state or Arizona etc.

I prefer some order each week. Once in a while dispatch throws a HUGE wrench into my orderly plans. But that's ok, it's trucking. Cannot take it? Go home. =)

 

28.50 per hour, work on the average of 65 to 68 hours per week, home every night as a general rule. Going up to 29.75 in 90 days.

 

could not agree more, its not what you make, its what you keep, and what you do with it.
