As of November 2024, Roehl drivers with at least one year on the job are averaging $1,360 a week (almost $70,700 a year). It's also important to know that the top 50% of Roehl drivers average $1,540 per week ($80k a year).

What about miles?
First, you should know that Roehl is one of the only trucking companies to pay address-to-address practical route mileage - 5-8% more than other companies AND those calculations better reflect the miles you'll drive on each load!
Your miles and pay are part of a regular discussion you will have with your fleet manager.
We are committed to work with you to set and meet your earnings goals.
Of course, we will assign you the work that gives you steady miles.

You'll gain experience!
As you go from zero experience to a driver with time behind the wheel, you’ll gain stamina, efficiency and control.
Stamina.
When you first start out, you likely will not be able to drive as many miles in a day as an experienced pro.
Over time, you’ll gain stamina and that will mean more miles.
Efficiency.
Making the most of your available drive time each day means becoming an expert at navigation, getting in and out of a customer’s location and truck stops, completing paperwork (we make it easy with the MyRoehl smartphone app).
As you learn, you’ll develop ways to get more out of each day.
Control.
Truck driving is both a career and a lifestyle.
You decide when to start and end your day, when you are available to drive, how long you drive each day.
Those choices impact how many miles you drive and how much you will make.
