Is $ 10.00 Per Hour bad for Local Home everyday?

oh, ok, but I do not pay rent. it's the non-home owners that do that for me, and the other home owners (land lords).

 

I hear this a lot...

when you say this are you counting the total hours you drive, or just the total hours OTR in general? (wait time sleeping etc)

 

I was wondering that myself but figured it has to be total time overall.

 

has too be total time.
if you drove 500 miles in a day at .40 cents a mile that's $200, divided by driving 11 hours is $18 a hour. and that's just pay for a beginner

 

I used to count all hours on the log, between driving, on duty not driving. off duty or sleeper was not. I think one time, it came to about $6 per hour.

 

you are rite about that ...there no dang way i could live on 10 buks an hr on a 40 hr week or 32 cpm on a 2000 mile week ...i feel sorry for some of these kids tryin to live on these crap wages and dont know how they pay theyre bills let alone get ahead .

 

Give it a shot...maybe they will raise your pay after a few weeks of solid performance...

 

living in mom's basement, eating mom's food, using mom's mini van for a hot date.

 

Playing Devil's advocate here the driver could end up sitting for a whole day and then only driving 250 miles the next day when it comes to OTR. So the pay per hour is probably less than $18 quite a few times for a lot of OTR drivers for hours they worked. Most local driving jobs from what I've seen pay better (if not significantly better) then OTR though.

 

I guarantee you the boys loading and unloading your truck make more than $10/hour
