Use your agreed rates on every daily ticket.

Truck driver rates FAQ
What is a typical truck driver charge-out rate?
Truck driver charge-out is Class 1 / CDL-A labor billed separately from a bare truck. Operated dump and lowboy rows already include a driver. Do not double-count. Open a region page for the local number, or a region plus truck driver page for a single market.
Is the truck driver figure a wage or a charge-out?
A labor charge-out, not a wage. Burden, overhead, and margin are already in the published range. Overtime rules belong on the project rate sheet.
Can I bill the central truck driver reference?
Not from this page alone. The central value is a public check, not a measured market median. SubTrack rate sheets are where your class, standby, and OT actually live.
