Truckers have always been paid by the mile. The rates have been the same up until today ever since the 70's. In the 60's it was a bit less than that due to congress having tried a failed attempt to over regulate the industry. Truckers today get paid between 22 and 42 cents per mile and can legally run up to 3000 miles per week...which is rare. Most drivers will run between 1500 and 2500 miles per week. The salaried drivers earn between 10 and 15 per hour their first 1 to 2 years. Then there are the higher salaried drivers with over 2 years of experience that earn between 15 to 26 per hour.
