How much does the average trucker make?

Question

I'm particularly interested in truckers who get a fair amount of home time, not just those who are on the road all the time.

Thanks.

Answer 1

If you want to be local to where you live, you would probably end up getting paid hourly. Most require a CDL A or B, and been through some kind of truck driving program. You could also go regional and most get paid by the mile.

Most truckers start in the range of $30,000 to $40,000.

Answer 2

Tanker truck drivers in So. Cal make over $20.00 an hour.
