What truck drivers make
Median
$55,000
Lower end
$40,000
Upper end
$77,000
Job Bank's national median is $26.42 an hour, about $55,000 a year at 40 hours a week. The low is $19.45 and the high is $37, about $40,000 and $77,000. Long-haul drivers are usually paid per kilometre rather than per hour. Owner-operators who own their truck set their own rates and carry all the costs.
