Mostly 60 cents per mile for all routed miles loaded and empty. Some loads or work pays hourly ($20 minimum/hr).
- Varies depending on the driver’s hours of service. We have loads which have specific loading and/or delivery times, some with delivery windows, and some that have open delivery, so it depends on when the driver starts and stops the shift. They have the option to choose their load most of the time, so they get to start at the time that works best for their HOS and still make delivery as scheduled.
New Year’s, Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas – we are discussing adding a floating holiday as well. Plus the driver receives the holiday pay plus the load pay if they work on the holiday.
We keep hauling during inclement weather as long as it’s safe to do so.
