The salary of a truck driver can vary depending on a number of factors, including:
* Level of experience
* Type of job (e.g., long-haul, short-haul, local)
* Size of the company
* Geographic location
For example, experienced long-haul truck drivers can earn significantly more than beginning short-haul drivers. Truck drivers who work for large companies may also earn more than those who work for small companies. And truck drivers who live in areas with a high cost of living may earn more than those who live in areas with a low cost of living.
In addition to base salary, truck drivers can also earn additional money through overtime and bonuses.
