Coming into trucking, I set my floor at $50k a year

If it doesn’t cover my bills, I’m not signing

I wouldn’t touch anything less than 40 cents per mile starting out.

It depends on the company and the benefits. I accepted 45 cents per mile with a good health insurance plan and a 401k match. I think that’s fair for a rookie driver.

less than 50 cents per mile is garbage. That’s the minimum I need to cover my expenses and make a decent living.

I wouldn’t accept anything below $0.40 per mile as a new driver.

$0.50 per mile as a new driver. That’s a decent pay rate for truck drivers that allows me to make a good living and save some money. Anything lower than that would be too low and not competitive with other companies.
