What does this cement mixer seat pay in West Virginia?

The band on this posting is $46,500 - $65,500/year. Where you land inside it comes down to verifiable experience, the lane you take, and your safety record.

For context, the statewide CDL-A average is $52,440. Wages here are declining — West Virginia trucking wages face pressure as coal industry decline reduces specialized hauling demand. However, natural gas (Marcellus Shale) and pipeline construction are partially offsetting losses.

West Virginia runs a cost-of-living index of 84, so this band is worth roughly $62,429 once living costs are taken out. That number is what to compare against an offer in another state.
