I just wanted to share with the new drivers out there on what to expect in wages at .26 per mile. I worked 307 days in 2011 for up to 11 hours per day. I had home time of only 35 days for the whole year. Care to guess what my year of wages were?
$20,300
As a new driver, whether you start with Werner, Swift or Schneider (all bottom feeders of drivers that need to gain experience); your first year is going to be tough. I could not imagine trying to raise a family or pay a mortgage on such low wages. I am grateful to dear friends and no debt that allowed me to live below the proverty level and be able to keep money in the bank and not someone's back pocket!
