    The Top Rate shall be $35.94 plus the general wage increases provided in Section 1 above.

    Increases are:

    • 2023 two dollars and seventy-five cents ($2.75)
    • 2024 seventy-five cents ($0.75)
    • 2025 seventy-five cents ($0.75)
    • 2026 one dollar ($1.00)
    • 2027 two dollars and twenty-five cents ($2.25)

    So that means in 2027, it’ll be $43.44/hour, which at 40 hours a week comes to $90,355.20/year. To reach $170k/year, they’d have to work 75.26 hours a week, I know drivers do a lot of OT, but I’m not sure about that much!

    Edit: To put more perspective on this, 170k/year at 40 hours is $81.73/hour, not too far from double their $43.44/hour
