Location: Royal Oak, MI

Pay:

AI Pay Analysis: To provide an accurate analysis of the hourly rate for a Class A Truck Driver in Royal Oak, MI, I’d need the specific rate you’re referencing. However, as of my last knowledge update in October 2023, the average hourly wage for Class A Truck Drivers typically ranges from $20 to $30, depending on factors like experience, type of cargo, and benefits. In metropolitan areas like Royal Oak, rates may trend towards the higher end of that range or beyond due to cost of living and demand for drivers. To determine if the rate is competitive, compare it to local job postings, industry reports, and resources like the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and consider broader economic conditions such as shortages in the trucking workforce. If the rate you have is within or above these ranges, it would likely be considered competitive.
