Question

How much do cdl truck driver make. a hour and yearly?

Answer 1

Depends on amount of experience and safety record. It's not unusual to start out at $14 to $16/hour. Some CDL drivers get a weekly plus bonus pay plan when they work for a food, beverage, or snack distributor, and can do much better than a regular hourly driver. Some FedEx drivers with years of experience earn $24/hour or more..

Answer 2

it depends on what company your pulling for. some pay more then others. some pay you loaded or unloaded and so much a mile.

Answer 3

Most companies do not pay you hourly rates mostly so if you get held up by traffic, repairs customs or refuelling or because you grabbed a snooze because you were tired and would be dangerous to continue. They so many cents per mile or a set rate for the trip, which is conducive to speeding and cooking the books and breaking the mto laws.  

Answer 4

This is wide open. Depends on where you live,what your hauling, if the CDL is an A, B, or C. I would say on average $10.00 up to $ 25.00 per hour. I live in South Florida. The top end would be someone hauling fuel in a tractor trailer with an "A" CDL with Tanker and Haz Mat as endorsements.The low end would be someone hauling propane tanks in a van requiring a C CDL with Haz Mat endorsement. Good Luck.
