How much does a Boeing truck driver make The heavy and or combination truck driver?

Heavy haul or Specialized Trucking salary varies a lot. If you own a truck and get paid by the load I give an idea by basing it on a company I work for. On our load board you would see loads that pay the truck anywhere from a little over 3,000 up t0 18,000 dollars. That's permit load. Meaning the load is either wide long or heavier than what is considered normal and require permits. In my company a driver start out as an H2 driver. And goes up to the highest. If a driver for example does 10 H2 load he goes up to the next level and vice versa. Some of the really big loads that require crew from the power line company and vice versa just so the truck can pass through can get paid up to 200,000 dollars per load!!. Trucking is probably the only job in which salary can vary a whole lot. Some truck drivers barely survive some own big homes and make a lot of money. Heavy haul and specialized truckers probably top the money maker in the industry along with ice road truckers who make about 120 gran in a single season which is three months.

The -800 is a next generation model. The -400 has square landing lights and the engine pylon sticks out the back of the wing. It sits higher on its main landing gear than the -800. Also, the pitot tubes are nearer the back of the plane wheras the -800 has them nearer the nose cone.

Which better Boeing 747 or Boeing 777?

It really depends on what you're looking for. The Boeing 747 has a large seating capacity, it is comfortable, stable, and great for long range flights. The Boeing 777 is popular aircraft that airlines are using to replace the 747 in long range flights because of it's efficiency and low fuel consumption. Overall, I like the 747 better because it's more spacious, safe, and confortable.

Will there be a Boeing A380?

There will not be a "Boeing A380" A380 is a model number for an aircraft produced by Airbus. Airbus planes are numbered A300, A310, A318, A319, A320, A321, A330, A340. A350 (Not yet produced), A380.

Boeing numbers its planes with a B folloed by 7X7

So Boeings planes are 707, 717, 727, 737, 747, 757, 767, 787 (In flight testing).

Boeing is producing a new Boeing 747 to compete against the A380 so in some ways you could call it a Boeing A380.

The aircraft is the 747-8i and when it is released it will be the longest passenger jet on the market A380 will still be the largest.

What is better Airbus A350 or Boeing 787?

The A350 and the 787 are not really in direct competition, only the smallest A350 (A350-800) competes with the largest 787 (787-9). So I shall compare these two aircraft. It must be remembered that the A350 is actually in competition with the 777 and that the larger variants of the A350 will have better statistics than the stats shown below.

Passengers (maximum): A350-800: 440 787-9: 290

Range: A350-800: 8,500 nmi 787-9: 8500nmi

MTOW: A350-800: 259t 787-9: 251t

MLW: A350-800: 193t 787-9: 193t

Cruise (Mach): A350-800: 0.85 787-9: 0.85

Maximum (Mach): A350-800: 0.89 787-9: 0.89

Service Ceiling: A350-800: 43,100ft 787-9: 43,000ft

Engines: A350-800: RR Trent XWB 787-9: GEnx or RR Trent 1000

Maximum Thrust: A350-800: 79,000lbf 787-9: 71,000lbf

Cost ($millions): A350-800: 245.5 787-9: 200

As this comparison shows, the two are very equally matched, the only differences being cost and seats but these two cancel each other out. Sales cannot be compared yet as the 787-9 is already available whereas the A350 isn't.

As I have previously said, the A350 and 787 are not in direct competition, with the 787 being a large variant of the family and the A350 being a small variant of the family. To summarise, the 787-9 is a big version of a smaller plane with smaller engines whereas the A350-800 is a condensed version of a large airliner. This means that the A350-800 is a more advanced airliner (e.g better and more powerful engines) than the 787-9 and if cost were no factor, the A350-800 would be the only choice for any airline.
