how's it going guys this is James and
welcome back to the channel make money
truckin and today we're gonna be talking
about how much money do owner operators
make a day or how much money should a
truck driver owner of it or be making a
day so this obviously will vary amongst
the different types of trucking jobs
whether you're in construction you know
oil field local over the road hauling
heavy or you know doing more shorter
hauls so we need to go through a little
bit of different types of pay first
so typically all the pay is a little bit
different depending on what types of
jobs you do so if you're over the road
or getting paid by the mile usually your
typical pay is about $1 to $3 a mile
depending on you know what you're
hauling if you're hauling heavy
it'll pay a little bit better but then
also you have over oversized overweight
permits or need for that and if you're
doing construction or oilfield work you
will be getting paid by the load or by
the hour so there's a three types of pay
by the mile by the hour and by the load
so typically hourly rates will vary from
$60 an hour to $100 an hour and this
might depend on if you are using the
contractor you're working for whether
you're using their trailer or using your
own trailer that are all very just a
little bit and then if you're getting
paid by load typically
like from guys that I know out here and
from what I do a load pays around two to
five hundred dollars a load obviously
two hundred dollars being a load that's
a lot shorter and five hundred dollars
being a load that's a lot further so
usually the further you go the more you
get on the pay by the load so basically
the general scenario is that you could
probably get anywhere from two to four
loads a day and then if you're when
you're hauling over the road typically
over the road drivers will do about 600
to 700 dollars a mile given the
conditions and traffic and so on and so
forth the amount of money a day you can
make will obviously vary by contracting
by company by no means this is just an
average that I've found to be true from
all the over the road owner operators I
know all the owner operators that do
construction work I used to have
construction trucks as well and also
guys that work in the oil field or just
do local delivery stuff you know flatbed
or over the road type of things so
basically um the average is about that
you can make a day or the owner
operatorship making a day is around six
hundred to a thousand dollars a day and
that's both if you're over the road or
if you're local you should be making
about six hundred thousand dollars day
so on average you should be making about
eight hundred dollars a day that should
be your benchmark eight hundred dollars
a day it's pretty reasonable and that's
what most of the people I know that are
owner operators including myself
alright guys that's all I got for you
today so how much do owner/operator
truck drivers make a day I would say I'm
pretty confident that most
owner/operators including myself make
about $800 a day that's what you should
be making so hopefully you found this
