How much do Truck Drivers earn?
A recent survey by the American Trucking Association reports the average trucker salary is $35,000 per year. During round table discussions at the March 2000 annual convention of the combined membership of CVTA (Commercial Vehicle Training Association) and APFTDS (Association of Publicly Funded Truck Driving Schools) in Orlando, Florida, trucking CEO’s from C.R. England, Roberson Trucking and Crete Carriers predicted salaries would rise from the current levels by about 40 to 60 percent over the next three years.
