53 cents a mile at 60mph is about $30/hr. Way less if you hit traffic or wind up in a city.

In a hypothetical job, you could start off in a city and travel 10 miles in the hour it takes to get out of town, drive for 8 hours at 60mph, and then hit your destination city and get stuck in traffic again for an hour to go 10 miles.

That works out to $26.50/hr.

That's only when you're moving, there can be a lot of down time at both ends and things like scales and fuel stops that eat up your time on the job you're not getting paid for.

These screen grabs are from a YouTube video and self evidently the quoted vehicle is of interest to the police.

Please could you tell me the significance of 'Amber Alert'?
