My research on the current company driver CPM, right now, is average dry van is running about 58 CPM. If you’ve got a couple years experience and clean record you should have no issues finding a job at the mid to high 60’s.
I run into a lot of drivers who have been with the same company for years. 10 years or more. And they just don’t get that things have changed dramatically in the last two years. They’re still out there driving for around $.50 per mile. Staying loyal to their company. Little do they know, it’s their company they play loyal to that is literally ripping them off. Unfortunately, many of these drivers will have to threaten to quit to see any type of increase.
It’s really pretty simple math. The average salary for a truck driver has went from around 50,000 to about 77,000 in the last two years. You have many drivers on here stating they now make over 100,000 per year. You’re not gonna have any chance to make 100,000 a year until you get up into the high $.60 per mile range with many bonuses on top of that. I make $55 cents per mile, zero bonuses or even accessory pay at my current company. Yes, I’m looking. But I want to land the final job and not just switch to switch.
It’s not so bad, you can still get to gourmet dogs at loves for $3.33.
