Figures are advertised pay parsed from employer job postings (¢/mile, $/hour, $/week, $/year), not guaranteed earnings. One employer counts once per haul per state per day, no matter how many towns or job titles the ad is posted under. The Pay Index annualizes with documented assumptions for cross-state comparison only. Sources: multiple job-search APIs, refreshed daily.
