Well paid driving jobs?

[skinner05]

Are there any well paid jobs out there that primarily involve driving.the only one i can think of is working your way up in the police and becoming a traffic cop. Any others?

Have you considered driving large quantities of cocaine from the continent into the main land.

I believe that can command a large price.

F1 Driver

Other than that no, not at all. I've checked.

Bus driver? Not sure if they're well paid or not though.

Tiger Woods does ok and he can only drive a few hundred yards.

HGV drivers in Iraq. Obvious risks. Doubt driving jobs will pay much as pretty much most adults can drive.

My mates a Bus driver and takes home anywhere between £350-£500 per week depending on what overtime he does.

Driving Instructors can earn about £30,000, although they got to pay for everything (fuel/maintenance etc)

Airport airside tanker drivers earn a fair whack, if you have the appropriate HGV and airside driving tickets.

Train driver. £30k+

Friend of mines just started and pull a grand a week......cash!

my understanding, and I've spoken to a few cabbies about it, is that while it's possible to earn up to £50k+ pa, you need to work all the hours on earth to achieve that figure...

If you're driving a 747 or the Shuttle I guess you'd be earning enough to be comfortable..

Canadian truck drivers working in the oil business, certain routes in Alberta/Saskatoon (I think) drivers are earning 80k-100k sterling during the winter months. It's not exactly a safe environment though

[Hedders]

Ice Truckers!

bugger that...

HGV 1 drivers aren't paid too shabbily. If you get further qualified (HIAB, HAZCHEM, tankers etc) you can get a bit/lot more.

Civilian astronauts earn up to $100,701 p/a so about £50K. Those in the military stay on military pay scale.

As a comparisson, a BA Captain earns between £70K - £100K
