I worked for a startup that sourced truckers for a while. Yeah that $264k number is completely unrealistic. It’s like saying that custodians can make $200k a year because there is some insane hazardous materials custodian job at a lab in the arctic.
They also probably got it by taking something like peak monthly earning for an ice road driver and extrapolating without accounting for seasonality and expenses (or only partially accounting for them).

- systemvoltage 5y agoPolice officers in Oakland make $650k. It is absolutely insane.
- otterley 5y agoONE police officer collected close to $600k total, if you include massive overtime and non-cash benefits including pension contributions and health and other benefits. The truth is that almost everyone else made much less. https://www.kqed.org/news/11873608/dozens-of-oakland-police-officers-collect-6-figure-overtime-payments-straining-citys-budget https://www.kqed.org/news/11873608/dozens-of-oakland-police-... for the details. Oakland also suffers from a massive supply shortage and working there carries a high risk premium, so it’s not surprising that they have to offer higher salaries to experienced law enforcement officers. Basic law of economics still holds.
