truck drivers can make as much as they are willing to work. There is no limit. Jobs pay hourly careers pay unlimited.
Start @ around 48k and top out @ 59k without overtime.
i think they make 30 dollars an hour I am a truck driver in Houston Tx. I used to get paid 14 dollars an hour. In midland Texas there was a truck driving position that start out at 18 dollars an hour. So it all depends what you haul what company and here you are at. Most of the time truck drivers get paid by the mile or by the load. There are only a few hourly truck drivers.
Most are paid percentage/commission, not hourly.
No stats on this were taken. What a truck driver gets paid depends on how they're paid - hourly (typical for local drivers), mileage, or percentage (the latter two are more common for long distance drivers), what they get paid per stop, etc. How much experience they have and what their company is willing to pay for their experience also factors in.
They're supposed to, but there are a lot of nasty truck drivers out there - especially over-the-road drivers.
The US Bureau of Labor Statistics breaks down truck driver earnings into 2 categories: local and long-haul. Local drivers are typically paid by the hour and long-haul by the mile. The average hourly wage was 17.92. According to www.indeed.com the average truck driver salary is 53,000/year, but this likely varies on type of truck driver and location.
It varies between companies, types of trucks being driven, etc. For truck drivers who are paid hourly (long distance line haul drivers are paid either based on mileage or percentage), I've seen ones who are paid anywhere from $9/hour to over $20/hour. It all depends on who they're working for, what they're driving (tipper, lowboy, fuel tanker, etc), and how much experience they have.
How much truck drivers get paid varies. Some truck drivers can make upwards of 50,000 per year depending on the company.
No, not all truck drivers belong to the Teamsters. There are many other semi truck driving companies as well as semi truck drivers that work for large retailers.
Truck drivers like semi-circles!! haha:)
The services truck stops offer truck drivers can include food, restrooms and beds, but also full service for the truck and truck repairs if so is required.
