I started regional flatbed right out of cdl school. .68 cpm + $100 tarp pay average around 2000-2200 miles/week. Don't get people that complain about tarping or the "intensive physical labor". Once you find your groove and get a routine down its easy to work smart and not hard. Plus what's wrong with a little physical activity vs sitting in seat waiting for a heart attack.
The point is this: you said yourself you get 68 cpm. Why anyone would choose to get 68 cpm driving flatbed with all the hard work, when there are plenty of dryvan companies that pays the same or more (75-85 cpm) for much easier job that they can do while wearing flip flops??? If flatbed jobs pays really good (1$ per mike or more) I understand why it worth it. As long they pay less than that: no thanks. You can do the same money driving dry van without the risks and hard work of flatbed. Btw, flatbed companies CAN pay much higher than 68 cpm, as they get high fares. They choose not too because people like you whiling to do it for 68 cpm. Think about it.
@@lucaswilson7144 I take home over $1600/week on average right out of school so honestly i could care less about cpm when I am looking at the bottom line. And also like I said I PERSONALLY enjoy hard work especially in an overall sedentary lifestyle type line of work. If you can give me the name of a company that will hire straight out of CDL school right now making more than $1700/week with consistent weekend hometime, near dedicated regional routes and good people that don't treat you like a mindless zombie behind the wheel, please feel free to send me their contact info.
Flatbed work is great, especially local. But unless you can shower daily otr... Not exactly worth the labor. With van/reefer, you just gotta get your ass out of the truck for exercise on shower days.
Good info. In my experience in the midwest these are the best paying...UPS feeders at top pay - 150k potential. Fedex road driver 120k. Fuel hauling at kwik trip and a couple other companies 100k. Many other linehaul opportunities are 100k... just gotta be willing to grind and work crappy shifts sometimes. Truckin takes 60-70 hrs a week for the big bucks... and those are just the home every night options.
Thank you! I've been hauling cars for 6 years or so, I also did tankers for a year and come from a tanker family where my grandfather owned 6 trucks, and my father repaired tankers for 30 years as well! Seriously, from a fellow driver who is constantly shocked at the current behaviors I witness on the road by "Professional Drivers," thank you man!
Just looked through a bunch of trucking jobs after getting my cdla, regular dry van and flat bed OTR trucking was by far the worst. They tell you like 50k-70k annually and at 70 hours a week thats only like 15$ an hour, not even mentioning hook up times or sleeping in your truck. The pay per day local routes were much better. Got one thats 280$ a day plus 10k starting bonus and tuition reimbursement takes like 9 or 10 hours to load and finish the route. Thats like 35$ an hour after everything, no exp needed. Working the night shift with sub zero temperatures can be brutal though.
Sometimes you make less than that! Sometimes you have a great week and make bank. Sometimes OTR pays better. Sometimes local pays better. Whatever you wind up doing, good luck and be safe!
I am a local dry bulk food grade company driver. Already wrapped up 100k at the close of the 3rd quarter. Definitely need to check into dry bulk tanker. Best money I have ever made
Whoa buddy....I'm a local driver for Pepsi (26 yrs) and make over $100k a year. Sure the work is hard, we actually have to touch and handle the cases. Driving is only a part of the job, nevertheless local beverage drivers in SoCal make good money. PS: you have a very good channel, should be taught to High Schools.
Flat bed tri axle driver for a building supply company. Class B license. 29$ an hour. 80k usually a year. Seven years experience. I have a boom crane license and operate a moffett. 6:30-4:30 workday. Connecticut USA
At the beginning of the year I switched from Hazmat otr to various local jobs. Depending on the job I took between a 33% to 50% pay cut compared to otr rates.
@@itsmitchnewton7670 logiflex. It's one of the Eastern European owned companies working out of Chicago (It's a bit of a trope apparently). Running on recaps (8 hours a day 7 days a week) I was able to reliably pull $1200/wk after taxes. They do require 2 years last I checked. I'm looking at returning to them next month and trying their pay scale which takes a portion of the load (28% I think, and likely a 1099 position). In my experience it's a lot more attention to detail and paperwork, but the shippers and recievers are often easier to drive around, keeping strict guidelines to EPA, OSHA, etc means they don't try stuffing inventory in your path or putting 5 drivers in 4 loading docks, so no dancefloor routines usually.
@@civosborne oh nice! Thanks for the info brother, good luck getting back on. I'm new so I'm sure I'd have to gain some experience but I'll keep them in mind!
I drive a fuel tanker in New Zealand, the liquid load dynamics are over hyped in my opinion, the biggest concern is liquid sloshing side to side in a S-shape bend or on a road that is badly cambered as the liquid gets held up toward oneside and a large bump could tip you, if you are worried to drive a tanker because you have told that liquid loads require a whole lot of extra care, then you are wrong and you they are as easy to drive as anything else. As for carrying a dangerous product, I feel safer in my fuel tanker loading and Unloading myself than I would around forklift drivers loading high pallets and heavy materials, so i believe in my opinion a fuel tanker is one of the safest trucks you could drive. You are probably far more likely to be killed driving a logging truck as you will be on more back country roads and are more likely to have a log crush you in an accident than have a fuel truck exploding. I earn $120,000 New Zealand dollars and average 60 hours a week.
Another great video! Concerning Ice Road Trucking? Not for everyone. Did that in Alaska for a few years! Unless you are prepared to like change a front spindle, change BY HAND enough tires to get one and a half of three axles to roll, get your load delivered on a trailer with broken frame ‘cause you hit a frost heave too fast…… all at -30° to -50°? Get ready to turn into one tough SOB! Other drivers are glad to help, however, no one will save you from yourself. (edit) No roadside repair to call!
Hi Ronen, thanks for sharing your expertise. I’m an American and I’d actually be interested in your take on ice road driving. It’s a big thing in Alaska, where I would love to live someday.
There’s money to be made being local, LTL specifically, I’m at 30/hour, 45 /hour after 8 hours into your shift. My rate’s going to 36 in a few months. Freight is slow now but definitely would recommend.
Hello Ronen. You havnt mentioned Car Haulers/Car Transporter Drivers. I am based in the UK and I haul cars all over europe + morroco and I get paid nearly £4000 after taxes. UK Baesd drivers can earn roughly £800 per week after taxes. I'm not 100% clear what it is like in the US and Canada but I've heard its nearly $100000 annually.
I recently inquired Vista Trans and they told me they are hiring 1099 drivers. Not W-2. So that explains the higher rate of pay. Maybe Ronan didn’t know that but that should be made clear if your gonna get peoples hopes up. Do your own research truckers before taking other peoples advice 🤙🏾
I am a local Food Service driver in Florida, my 1st year of driving i made $91K . This is my second year and i started making component pay, so right now as of June i am on pace to break $105K.
I got a cdl from a friend and he was going to pay my $16/hr. That was fine but his tone was that of belittling sarcasm. Sorry. I dont play that game. So im a driver with only 6 months experience in oversize loads and have a tanker endorsement. I told dude he was the last person id work for as im 61 years old. But i wont be talked down to. I want to stay local. Tucson AZ. Because i have a senior dog at home. Nobody wants to hire me except Swift. At $15/hr. with automatic transmission. I like 15 spd. And switf was otr. What to do now???
@@waynenation678 i work in switzerland i have 2years experience i started out in dump division then got the „ADR“ in order to be allowed to transport Hazmat and i work in pharmaceutical now that explains the high pay😵💫
I make over 100k a year as a handyman mostly installing blinds. I only working 25 to 30 hours a week. I can't imagine putting all those hours on the road and not making that much.smh
Got my class A in 94, went OTR in 97 got my x endorsement to haul tallow, no hazmat needed. A friend learned I had hazmat, I went to work driving a fuel transport in 98, 13 years and one haling ethanol. Then oilfield. I paid off mortgage and no longer will haul gas. But my opinion, local is better. Any Austin transport drivers from back then remember how that was, it was work, and we were never more on our game. 👍
if u do the math otr makes way less then local by the hour . Do the math all the hours u spend in that truck devide that by hours you put it you will be lucky to make minimum wage . Been local company driver 9 years plus I would never get suckered in to go otr even tho i got a double sleeper that i drive local lol

Hey Ronen - appreciate your content and each time i view this and your other vids, I learn something new. Do you have access to rates and realistic numbers for new drivers on the west coast in British Columbia? Lower mainland area ? Thanks!
I m flatbed driver for a company, it’s otr and get 65 cents for a mile only. Okay it’s paperlog gliderkit truck and yes you can drive 3200 miles a week
You have to always consider how many miles you actually end up driving, not just look at cpm. Reefers and flatbed often drive less miles than dry van. So the higher cpm makes up for the lower mileage. It’s always a formula. CPM x MILEAGE.
It’s all started like play when my friend tell me about Mr David Mark I was having double minded, before I give him a tryer and I made huge profit out of it, he is really the best I have seen
Yes of course he’s a good man and legit in his trading. I am going to retire in my early 40s. Having an Expert BROKER like Mr David Mark managing my investments is heartwarming. Because I don’t have to worry about fund, I just sit down and earn profits every weekend.
@@devoywilliams3956 Central Transport. It's about five different terminals around the metro so it all depends on what terminal you run out of because not everybody make that amount. On the extreme low side you can make about $1,600 a week and if they give you good runs every day you can make over $2,100. Depending on the terminal you also get on the dock and run the forklift also. So yeah you do earn this money
@@DIRTY_SOUTH yea that company got less than 2 stars review. The thing about trucking companies pay majority of their fleet Pennie’s and a few guys make all the money.
@@devoywilliams3956 I can't speak for any other drivers but the Atlanta terminals make within that price range. And you have to take those reviews with a grain of salt because nine times out of 10 it's the people that are disgruntled employees
They are on way more than us in the uk we get payed the same no matter what the load is apart from hazmat and oversize loads . apart from them two we get payed the same box / curtains/ fridge and flat beds and it’s not hard to used straps I use them once every two days
Hi Ronen, great channel love the tiktok shorts on touchy subjects of the trucking. Another sector im not familiar is the film 🎥 🎞 industry as there truckers moving there equipment. Could you speak on this as possible high pay category?
Hey Hundreds of people have provided the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) with an opinion on a controversial proposal to require that commercial vehicles be equipped with electronic identification technology accessible by law enforcement would you make a video on explaining this Technology and how it would effect us?
Hi from France, i really do like your chanel and it's content. That said,i'm a company driver,(tanker driver,fuel) over here on an hourly rate,which to be honest is pretty low,i am more than curious on what a mile rate would turnout to be if it was calculated on an hourly rate,you who likes maths. For me,here in France, i've got to deliver alot of petrol to make a decent living,i've got to do sixty hour weeks or else i'd earn more filling supermarket shelves. You know Ronan there is more to life than just money,you never bring up the subject of really enjoying driving a truck,it's à bit more than just à job,it's a lifestyle.
My dad and I are owner operators but over the past 2 years we've had well over 100k in repairs om our 2 trucks. Would you guys recommend a high paying company driver job instead?
Iam starting to believe otr is not the way to go all I people are looking in the wrong places . I seen port jobs paying 1900 a day with your own truck . Touch loads make more than some otr .
If you're going to drive local move where the money is. My truck driving career is fucking shameful but I was also trying to balance playing in bands at the same time. I never really made good money despite busting my ass with hard work, barely $600 a week even with 12 hour days. Probably my fault but it didn't seem like anything was paying better. I'm going back into it this year but I'm willing to move anywhere.
When are y’all going to compare between W-2 and 1099 who makes the real big money and who gets screwed by not paying taxes.please make a video about ❤❤❤
I've been driving OTR vans/reefer, based out of Canada. TBH it hasn't been worth it to drive long haul cross border as a company driver. Spending a week on the road, sleeping in truck stops and rest areas that reek of piss. You'd think that being responsible for a $200,000 truck, upto millions of dollars worth of cargo, being regulated to death by the government and elogs while trying not too kill a stupid 4 wheeler when they do something stupid would actually pay half decent. But in reality its ridiculous. U.S drivers i speak to at truck stops and consignees when delivering seem to actually get paid half decently compared to us Canucks. Don't think I'll continue this too much longer, maybe if i were an owner op it'd actually be worth it.
Hi Ronen, in your opinion with the seemingly artificial "driver shortage" and the impending recession, do you think it's worth it for someone to get a CDL and start driving in Canada?
Local Beverage companies will hire rookies, because the turn over rate is high because of the hard work. Pepsi Coke 7up and Beer. Good place to start and your in your own bed every night.
@@formertrackstar703 I've been a truck driver since 1997 and it is steady getting worse and no reason to think it will get better. Construction, Hvac, plumbing any other skilled Blue-collar profession is better than trucking right now unfortunately.
Great vid Ronen, I did heavy haul in the oil patch and it was such a pain in the ass with routes and only driving at night , the money was great but the waste of resources was of the charts

Ughhh I’m in process of getting a automatic restricted cdl and I don’t mind working hard or long hours but I want it to be worth it for me
I m flatbed driver for a company, it’s otr and get 65 cents for a mile only. Okay it’s paperlog gliderkit truck and yes you can drive 3200 miles a week
Flatbed gang stand up!!
Not all tankers carry liquid right?
Nope! Some transport gases as well!
70 to 75 cts is to low for over road
You have to always consider how many miles you actually end up driving, not just look at cpm. Reefers and flatbed often drive less miles than dry van. So the higher cpm makes up for the lower mileage. It’s always a formula. CPM x MILEAGE.
Flatbedders get 100 dollars for tarping on top of cpm. So, they get paid more no matter what
I do regional flat deck and and get paid percentage
Ltl- around 90k a year mon - friday weekly usually 12-14 hour days consistently
$76,000 just in two weeks Mr David Mark greene you are so amazing.
How please? Am a newbie in crypto investment, please can you guide me through on how you made it.
It’s all started like play when my friend tell me about Mr David Mark I was having double minded, before I give him a tryer and I made huge profit out of it, he is really the best I have seen
Have been hearing about Mr David Mark and his genius mind in the crypto market also how good is he ?
Yes of course he’s a good man and legit in his trading. I am going to retire in my early 40s. Having an Expert BROKER like Mr David Mark managing my investments is heartwarming. Because I don’t have to worry about fund, I just sit down and earn profits every weekend.

I make between 90k and 100K as a local driver here in Atlanta I'm home everyday
wat company
@@devoywilliams3956 Central Transport. It's about five different terminals around the metro so it all depends on what terminal you run out of because not everybody make that amount. On the extreme low side you can make about $1,600 a week and if they give you good runs every day you can make over $2,100. Depending on the terminal you also get on the dock and run the forklift also. So yeah you do earn this money
@@DIRTY_SOUTH yea that company got less than 2 stars review. The thing about trucking companies pay majority of their fleet Pennie’s and a few guys make all the money.
@@devoywilliams3956 I can't speak for any other drivers but the Atlanta terminals make within that price range. And you have to take those reviews with a grain of salt because nine times out of 10 it's the people that are disgruntled employees
Great sir great information I'm watching from Nepal
They are on way more than us in the uk we get payed the same no matter what the load is apart from hazmat and oversize loads . apart from them two we get payed the same box / curtains/ fridge and flat beds and it’s not hard to used straps I use them once every two days
Great content brother
reefer is also harder to sweep than dry van
Hi Ronen, could you get me a flatbed driver with over 3yrs of Experience ASAP…..?? Thanks
Hi Ronen, great channel love the tiktok shorts on touchy subjects of the trucking. Another sector im not familiar is the film 🎥 🎞 industry as there truckers moving there equipment. Could you speak on this as possible high pay category?
Hey Hundreds of people have provided the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) with an opinion on a controversial proposal to require that commercial vehicles be equipped with electronic identification technology accessible by law enforcement would you make a video on explaining this Technology and how it would effect us?
Where that mpg saving guru guy. That vid is anticipated
How about car carriers? Where do they stand in this list?
Hi from France, i really do like your chanel and it's content.
That said,i'm a company driver,(tanker driver,fuel) over here on an hourly rate,which to be honest is pretty low,i am more than curious on what a mile rate would turnout to be if it was calculated on an hourly rate,you who likes maths.
For me,here in France, i've got to deliver alot of petrol to make a decent living,i've got to do sixty hour weeks or else i'd earn more filling supermarket shelves.
You know Ronan there is more to life than just money,you never bring up the subject of really enjoying driving a truck,it's à bit more than just à job,it's a lifestyle.
dump trucks?
I'dove to hear about ice road driving.
Hello Ronen
Does Vista Trans hire drivers from GTA Ontario?
Thanks
Hauling mail in GTA owner operator 100K+ every year but this job is stressful
So who pays your fuel cost when your making $0.85 a mile?
Hi Ronan, could you do a video about Canadian drivers and their options to work in US? I’m looking for a US carrier but it’s seems hard to find.
How many years of experience do you have?
@@owolabiogunsan3910 4 years ( 2 years flatbed, year of container work and hazmat. Last year started with reefer regional.
My dad and I are owner operators but over the past 2 years we've had well over 100k in repairs om our 2 trucks. Would you guys recommend a high paying company driver job instead?
I am looking for A JOB
I work for dollars general and I make $110000
Iam starting to believe otr is not the way to go all I people are looking in the wrong places . I seen port jobs paying 1900 a day with your own truck . Touch loads make more than some otr .
You forgot to mention car haulers 😮
Proud chemical tanker yanker!! When hauling tanks the fakes get exposed. Better know what your doing.
I got hired as a new driver with no experience at .61CPM. Get to come back home everyday after 500 miles. Is that good for a dryvan division?
very decent since you get to come home everyday
What company did you get hired on with? Thanks,
If you're going to drive local move where the money is. My truck driving career is fucking shameful but I was also trying to balance playing in bands at the same time. I never really made good money despite busting my ass with hard work, barely $600 a week even with 12 hour days. Probably my fault but it didn't seem like anything was paying better. I'm going back into it this year but I'm willing to move anywhere.
I accepted a job with Melton and they starting me 52c with no experience is that bad? And it’s OTR flatbed
U didn't mention car haulers
When are y’all going to compare between W-2 and 1099 who makes the real big money and who gets screwed by not paying taxes.please make a video about ❤❤❤
I've been driving OTR vans/reefer, based out of Canada. TBH it hasn't been worth it to drive long haul cross border as a company driver. Spending a week on the road, sleeping in truck stops and rest areas that reek of piss. You'd think that being responsible for a $200,000 truck, upto millions of dollars worth of cargo, being regulated to death by the government and elogs while trying not too kill a stupid 4 wheeler when they do something stupid would actually pay half decent. But in reality its ridiculous. U.S drivers i speak to at truck stops and consignees when delivering seem to actually get paid half decently compared to us Canucks. Don't think I'll continue this too much longer, maybe if i were an owner op it'd actually be worth it.
You forgot food service truck drivers
Hi Ronen, in your opinion with the seemingly artificial "driver shortage" and the impending recession, do you think it's worth it for someone to get a CDL and start driving in Canada?
Same question but in the USA?
he already made a video on it check his channel
Local Beverage companies will hire rookies, because the turn over rate is high because of the hard work. Pepsi Coke 7up and Beer. Good place to start and your in your own bed every night.
@@formertrackstar703 I've been a truck driver since 1997 and it is steady getting worse and no reason to think it will get better.
Construction, Hvac, plumbing any other skilled Blue-collar profession is better than trucking right now unfortunately.
Great vid Ronen, I did heavy haul in the oil patch and it was such a pain in the ass with routes and only driving at night , the money was great but the waste of resources was of the charts
I think might be getting screwed. I’m a new driver and start working for this company in my state getting paid .48cpm. Been working for 2 months now. Is that a bad rate? I am regional 5 days out.
They're probably giving you schooling???
.48 is ok, but only when you’re brand new. If you’re a safe driver and work hard, you can make minimum .60 by the 6 month mark.
That's normal/average
