Trucking Industry
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median income for truck drivers in 2018 was $43,680 per year. At TanTara, the average van driver earns $58,000/year and the average flatbed driver earns $72,000/year—both a significantly higher amount.
In the trucking industry, a new driver, in the first year, typically earns about $35,000. However, signing bonuses—some up to $5,000—as well as bonuses for safety and retention can increase that salary amount. As for an owner/operator, you can average about $184,803 per year.
Because you don’t need a degree to be a truck driver, you can also factor in the cost of tuition you’d save from having to pay for a two-year or four-year degree. Training for trucking is often provided by the company that hires you. If you truck in your own state, you can begin as young as 18 years old. If you wish to drive across state lines, you need to be 21. While your friends are racking up college debt, you’ll be getting free training and earning an excellent income.
