Job Title: OTR Class A CDL Driver

Company: Trucking People

Location: Detroit, MI

Pay: $1600 – 1800 per month

AI Pay Analysis: The hourly rate for an OTR Class A CDL Driver in Detroit, MI, translating to a monthly income of $1,600 to $1,800, appears to be below the competitive range for this role, especially considering the demand for skilled drivers in the region. Generally, OTR drivers can earn between $0.40 to $0.70 per mile, which often translates to monthly earnings ranging from $4,000 to $6,000 or more, depending on miles driven and company policies. This discrepancy suggests that the offered rate may not align with industry standards, potentially leading to challenges in attracting and retaining qualified drivers in a competitive labor market.
