trying to get a real idea of pay for regional tanker

What state are you in?

 

Talk to Superior, and Quality Carriers. If they will hire you, you will get a better start

 

Its interesting to compare what driving tankers in 2 different counties is like when it comes to getting paid not that'll be much help to you bud however we do regional here in 6 days i'll drive around 2784 km which is around 1740 miles we are on a flat rate $43 per hour so you do say an average of 1550 miles @ .42 c per mile you earn $651 i do 6 days @ an average of 9 hours per day x $43 = $2322 it pretty easy to work out who has the better deal.

 

Even after you take away the difference in what the Australian dollar is worth compared to the u.s. dollar and the higher cost of living in Australia you're still averaging about $29 an hour. that makes it a little bit more equal for comparison to the US dollar. And depending on where you live in the United States there's some tanker drivers making that but not many areas pay that high.
