This sounds right, but I'd be interested in hearing from a trucker.

Most of them get paid $0.X per mile, I imagine the interstate miles are the easy money and the last mile through Manhattan is the hell money.

It depends on the company. A lot of truckers are paid per trip, not by mile. But really it just depends.

A lot of the last mile truck drivers are paid hourly or per stop instead of per mile. I don't have any numbers to say how many, though.
