Most Demolition derby drivers don't get paid any sort of salary or paycheck. What usually happens is that for every race there is a fee to enter, and if you come in one of the top three places you get part of the "purse". The purse is a pre-defined amount of money for each of the three places. For local races the first place winning can be as little as afew hundred dollars.

what this means is that each driver needs to pay for his car, pay for the cost of modifying it for the race, and pay to enter the race. But only the top three drivers get any money back. So for most of the drivers the race costs them money, rather than makes them money.

Some drivers are able to get sponsorships, but this is often just enough to help pay for the expenses noted above, and not enough money to live on. For most Demo Derby drivers it is a hobby, and not a source of income.

What is the average wage of car hauler truck drivers?

No stats on this were taken. What a truck driver gets paid depends on how they're paid - hourly (typical for local drivers), mileage, or percentage (the latter two are more common for long distance drivers), what they get paid per stop, etc. How much experience they have and what their company is willing to pay for their experience also factors in.
