I thought it would be interesting to have a thread to post our yearly results so we can compare them. Now I know truck drivers are prone to exaggeration. “ Hence, I stay out three months at a time and only take a day off.” so let’s keep the statistics REAL…We post here factual, so we can compare them to each other. I’ll start with mine.
for year 2023:
I drive reefer exclusively
1. Total pay, including cents per mile, bonuses, holiday pay, per diem, pay, :$93,655
2. Miles driven: 124,847
3. Days off NOT including vacation days aka home time, actual days at home, not resets etc out on the road: 56
4. Vacation days taken: 0
5. Holidays off: 0 (worked them all)
6. Benefits utilized: 0
let’s see how we all compare to each other. I’m curious about how many days off of home time you guys are getting and things like this.

Ummmm why? Everyone on here has an idea what OTR drivers make.
You did well.......congratulations.Crude Truckin' Thanks this. -
wasn’t looking to “brag” honestly, I would rather have had quite a bit more home time and made less. That’s what I’m aiming for in the year going forward. -
Ahhhh....I see.

Not sure if you were aware of this, but they make a thing called a coffee maker and you can have coffee at home on home time.Rideandrepair Thanks this. -

It isn't what I am 'given', it is what I choose to take.
Many other drivers at my terminal take home time much more often, but I'm not sure how many days they take or how long they work between times.
I just know that I am always asked about when my next home time will be. I came back from home time less than a week ago and my DM is already asking when I will be taking my next one.
It seems it is common for many drivers to get home after about 2 weeks or so, and I doubt it is for a short 34 reset.Lennythedriver and Rideandrepair Thank this. -
Rideandrepair and Lennythedriver Thank this.

Why are miles important?
