I used to be an Over The Road company driver, pulling 53 foot dry vans. I worked for 33 cents a mile, which should have worked out to be about $33,000 per year. But in reality, I had more "down time" than I expected (weather, mechanical problems, and usually just that the dispatcher had to scrounge around for a load going out of the same city I'd just unloaded in). So I didn't run the 100,000 miles per year I'd hoped, but it was close. Now, in 2009, I think company drivers get paid 40 cents a mile. Maybe 45. So I'd say you can earn $35K to $45K per year as a company driver, using THEIR truck. If you lease or buy your own rig, you'll get more than twice the per-mile-rate but you'll have much more expenses and responsibilities to worry about. If you pull doubles, triples, tankers, or flatbed trailers, or refrigerated trailers, you might earn a little more than those who pull dry vans.
