24.5% of whatever the load pays.

Nope - if I did, I'd probably want to put a gun in my mouth.

Well, since everyone is paid differently at my employer and we are strictly prohibited from discussing each others wages, I can only speculate that one driver at my company with over 20 years of class A experience is making $20.64 and hour and $30.96 after 40 hours. That's just speculation though, and there's no way that I am that driver.
This driver usually averages about 50 hours a week too. All local work and home daily. But without a subpoena there is no way I could tell you who he is.

Jon they just dont want to look at it that way. They block it out.
That secret driver is doing pretty well Scoe. We're all paid the same so its no secret. 57.75 cpm when driving, 22.85/hr when on duty not driving. My current run is about 45 hrs/week, 1390 miles, and grosses around $1300. The longest run at my barn is around 60 hrs/week, 2780 miles, and grosses around $1900. All our runs are night runs and home every day. M-F But the bad part is I have to pay union dues so I know most of you wouldnt want it!:moon: You know what really blows my mind? It's a very good job, a desireable job, and yet we still have miserable whiners who are never happy.:roll:
