what is the pay for a truck driver
Hereâs how I see it in 2012â¦. Below average truck driver pay- anything under .40 cents per mile, or $40,000 per year. Average truck driver pay- about .40 to .45 cents per mile, or $50,000 to $60,000 per year. Above average truck driver pay- close to .50 cents per mile, and over $60,000 per year. Of course, what you haul matters. Flatbed, step-deck and heavy-haul drivers add a little to that pay scale.
