How Much Money Do Truckers Make

First question that many have is, "How much money do truckers make?" It's a simple question with a complex answer. There are many variables that will determine a trucker's salary. Here are some...

  • Type of equipment used
  • What the trucking company hauls
  • Where the company runs
  • How the company is set up
  • How much experience the driver has

In any case, there isn't many jobs that you can get with so little training and no experience that will pay as much as a professional truck driver.

However, please be advised...

The trucker salaries that you see listed in newspapers and other advertisements are usually averages of all drivers. This means many are making much more and many are making much lower than what you see advertised.

Pay for a new truck driver naturally at the bottom of the pay scale. This is much lower than what most people expect when they are considering becoming a truck driver.

A new company driver will make anywhere from $25,000 to $35,000 as a big truck driver.

A driver with one year driving experience will make between $35,000 and $45,000.
