that's a pretty open question. a lot of different pay structures. i deal with truckers at my truck wash everyday & from what i see they either struggle month to month, paycheck to paycheck or they they do pretty good. not really any middle class, middle ground. owner operators seem to put a ton of money back in their rigs. sure they make big money but they have big expences too, large fuel bill's, insurance & road toles, oversize permits the list goes on & on. oh ya & big wash bill's ha,ha. the number you said i have no trouble believing some good company drivers make but i would say they are few & far between, but possible.
