Monster truck drivers earn an average of $29,000 a year, according to Simply Hired. A monster truck driver's salary can range from $25,000 to $50,000 depending on the state of the industry, the driver's experience, where the driver travels to and the company that hired the driver.

A monster truck driver is part of a team and travels all over North America. It is not uncommon for a driver to do 50 shows over the course of one year in front of massive audiences.
