Question

What is the average salary for a trucker and how much does a trucker get paid for every mile they drive?

Thanks in Advance

Answer 1

The average salary for a American Truck Driver last year was 37k/yr.

Answer 2

depends on the company-some pay jack and run you ragged-your experience---layovers-(layover pay)- tarping pay(flat beds)--driver unloading pay(at grocery warehouses)--fuel conservation bonus(if you progressively shift you can save fuel--avoid excessive idling)--safety bonuses--miles you are willing to run if the freight is available-and if you are good at cheating on the log book-35,000 to 50,000 a year,--owner operators are finding it tough right now with fuel prices--good luck

Answer 3

Not all truckers are paid by the mile.  Some, like myself, are paid by the hour.  Some are paid by the load.  It depends on what you do exactly.  

When it comes to 'cents per mile', some companies also pay a cent or two per mile bonus if your fuel economy is good, or you are accident-free.  

40 - 42 cents per mile might be considered average.

Answer 4

They earn about $0.41/mi
