I will take as an example the following 5 top paying states in the field of commercial trucking:
| Mississippi | $68.000 |
| Wyoming | $61.000 |
| New York | $60.000 |
| Massachusetts | $59.000 |
| Washington D.C. | $59.000 |
Truck Drivers Aren’t Important
This is one of the worst myths in the commercial trucking history.
Moreover, the trucking industry in the USA represents the lifeboat and the backbone of the overall economy. Commercial truck drivers in the USA are moving more than 70% of all goods.
In the light of that we can see that without commercial trucking, the U.S. economy would come to a standstill.
Not only have that, without truckers the life would come to a grinding halted, literally.
To move 10.5 billion tons of freight annually requires over 3.4 million heavy-duty Class 8 truck and over 3.5 million truck drivers.
It also takes over 38 billion gallons of diesel fuel to move all of that freight.
