Truck Driver Comparison
Decade	Avg Pay Per Mile for Driver	Avg Miles Per Week	Weekly Income – Driver	Difference
1940-1960s	Hourly wage or % pay was norm	2000 to 7000+	$ 300.00+\-
1980s	$0.19	4,200	$ 798.00	$ 498.00
1990s	$0.28	3,500	$ 980.00	$ 182.00
2000s	$0.39	2,200	$ 858.00	$(122.00)

Deregulation initially helped increase the income of the driver but drastically cut the income of the O/O. If you compare the value of the dollar today to that of regulated trucking times, the driver of the 21^st Century makes less than the driver of the WWII era. Today’s trucker makes less per hour than a “burger flipper” at any fast food chain. Hourly a driver working the maximum allowed 70 log hours a week, which is approximately 100 actual hours, while being compensated by the mile, actually receives the equilivant of $8-$10/hr in true compensation or an amount less than minimum wage in many areas.
