Job Title: OTR Class A CDL Driver

Company: Trucking People

Location: Grand Rapids, MI

Pay: $1600 – 1800 per month

AI Pay Analysis: The hourly rate of $1600 to $1800 per month for an OTR (Over The Road) Class A CDL Driver in Grand Rapids, MI translates to approximately $9.23 to $10.38 per hour, assuming a full-time schedule of around 173 hours per month. This pay rate is significantly below the market average, as OTR truck drivers typically earn between $0.45 to $0.65 per mile or a range of $50,000 to $80,000 annually, depending on experience and the distance driven. Given that the median hourly wage for truck drivers in Michigan is generally around $20 to $30 per hour, this compensation package would not be considered competitive or aligned with industry standards for this role in the area.
