what was your salary as a 1st yr driver

Oh boy, here we go with another "how much do you make" thread.

This will turn into an early pi$$ing contest.

 

20% of what the truck made. So in between 500 a week and 5 dollars a week.

BTW BigJoel, like that needle nose!!!!

 

Tyson Foods out of Springdale Arkansas: 1-800-933-6442 (Driver Recruiting)

Providing that I am NOT mistaken, Tyson Foods keeps their drivers moving at a constant pace, even with the waiting times at many of their plants and destinations. Their lowest rate per mile, AFTER their initial training and orientation is over is 39 cents a mile with an average of 2600 miles per week.

39 cents X 2600 miles a week = $1,014.00 aweek
$1,014.00 a week X 52 weeks = $52,728.00 a year
$52,728.00 a year divided by 12 months = $4,394.00 a month

Many drivers working for Tyson Foods will NOT earn this much, Many will EXCEED these amounts, including some of the newer drivers. This is based on previous posts by various truck drivers who currently drive for or have driven for Tyson Foods.

NOTE:
Initial training package is $400.00 a week.
