Well, let me put it this way I'm just an operator and I'm 20 years old and I own my own home and still have room for my collection of project cars lol. Most the money I make is in O/T, but my regualar pay right now is 23/hour. I think I'm due for another raise in like 3 months though. It's pretty good, it's just hard work...no time for a personal life. In the summer I'm working between 80 and 90 hours a week and in the winter I work about 60-65 hours a week in temps down to -60*F. I love what I do though, I'm in charge of building every load out of the Fairbanks terminal, so we go to Prudhoe Bay/Deadhorse, Valdez, Anchorage, Seattle, and Edmonton, AB. My company's the best at what we do and we're the largest outfit in Alaska. we also have terminals in Minnesota, Federal Way, and Houston.
