Well that is a very open question.
All kinds of variables go into driver pay.
I will start with an easy question?
What size truck hauling what?
See the reason i ask is the guy delivering for the local building supply; driving an under CDL truck; will not make near the money a guy running for the ready mix plant will.

I don't know about Louisiana, but around here I would say start at $15 an hour, depending on experience and top out at $18.
