Well, inflation has been pretty high in recent times, and people are quite edgy, but not the world’s sexiest dump truck driver, Ashlea, she’s living the perfect life, according to her.
Ashlea took to TikTok to give an insight into her life, and according to her, she is currently the only single person in this world with no problems to worry about.
Ashlea claims she changed her 8-to-5 job to being a truck driver a few months ago, and her life has never been the same since. She has enough money to save due to her hefty $94K to $95K annual income expectations. She travels whenever she likes and enjoys luxury outings, and aside from receiving an enviable salary, she works for two weeks and gets two weeks off.
Ashlea further continued that the most exciting part of her life is that she has no kid or partner to worry about as her life is, according to her, a dream or a fairytale.
According to the New York Post;
A FIFO worker dubbed the “world’s hottest truck driver” has revealed her insane six-figure salary that she says has allowed her to live her “best life.”
Perth-based Ashlea took to social media to offer a glimpse into her busy life working in remote Western Australia.
Working as a dump truck driver, she works 14 days on, 14 days off, up in the Pilbara mines, waking up at 4 am for hectic 12-hour shifts in the sweltering heat.
But the hard work has paid off, with Ashlea earning $120,000 a year for working “six months out of the year” – adding that she has an “awesome life”.
How do I pull off such a good lifestyle while doing mining? I have an awesome life,” Ashlea said in a TikTok video.
“So how do I achieve this? Well first of all I do a two-and-two roster, so every month I have two weeks off, so that gives me plenty of time to do some really awesome things.
“I make it a priority in my life to do super cool sh*t.
“I’m always going to events, I’m always partying, I’m always traveling, I’m always eating out, I’m just doing everything that I love to do.”
She highlighted a few “contributing factors” that has allowed her to live her dream life.
“First of all, I have no children, thank goodness … I have no kids,” she explained, laughing.
“Second of all, I’m single by choice so I have no partner to worry about.
“I also have no debt so I own my car. I sold my investment property so my bank account is looking quite nice at the moment.”
She went on to explain exactly how much she earns as a FIFO truck driver.
“We don’t gatekeep here so let’s talk about money,” she said.
“Obviously, all companies are going to pay differently so this is just what I personally got.”
When she first started as a trainee, she earned $36.50 per hour.

But after her first three months of working in the mines, she received a wage rise, bringing her hourly pay rate to $43.50.
“So quite a nice jump,” she said.
“For my first year as a greenie (truck driver) that would have taken me to approximately $94,000 to $95,000 annually for the six months so pretty cool for a new truckie.
“If I stayed at that site as an experienced truck driver, I think I would have got bumped to about $46.50 an hour.”
After completing her first year, Ashlea changed contractors and her new hourly rate increased to $51.50.
“So that’s pretty good,” she said.
