Regional and Local Drivers, not to get in your business but...

::raises hand::

That's me on weekend nights.
Deliver rolls of stamps to St Louis from Louisville. Make just as much driving a little box truck team as I did solo otr.

Not as much as a ups seasonal though.
That's where the monies at for Louisville. Go across the bridge and no union fees but union pay wink wink nudge nudge xD.

 

GOT is no longer on tv, playa

 

Game of Thrones is on Hulu..... LoL!

 

ps: good luck, O/P ..hope some of this helped. I'm off to work in a bit; we tried!

 

I make $18/hr plus OT. I average $1000/week gross. Not bad for 50 hour 5 day work week doing no touch loads. But some people on here can't pay their bills on anything less than $2000/ week evidently.

 

I recently switched from LTL P&D work to a linehaul position. I am almost embarrassed to admit how much it pays, because these conversations often turn into a ##### size contest and I can't stand when income talk turns into bragging or belittling of others. It is nice that this thread hasn't turned into that.

I make insane money right now, but I am trying to pay off debt and save as much as I can for retirement. I won't be buying a new Corvette with all that extra money. I don't even want a Harley payment, even though that seems like what all well-paid truckers are supposed to buy. The bottom line is that we are all still just truck drivers, and one bad incident can change everything. My income could be cut in half in a heartbeat.

 

Good post, Bob Dobalina.

The thing about local pay is that it has more to do with area than anything else. The same driver could do the same job in one area and make one amount yet make something totally different in another area.

 

Anyone around NY/NJ I average 1200 to 1400 gross but pier work lots of sitting and lots of traffic being this northeast my gross counts waiting time and accessoriall pay but 5 long days looking to change soon.
