The rate, the math, and where the top of the range comes from.
The rates
Your raise sits on top of whatever we pay a new driver.
Stay, and your rate goes up. It never gets absorbed the next time we raise the starting rate to hire.
This is the part most carriers get wrong. They lift the starting rate to bring people in, and a driver four years deep finds out they're earning what the new hire earns. Here, tenure is added on top of the base — so when the base moves, your rate moves with it and keeps its head start.
At today's $0.72 base, six years puts you at $0.80 a mile. And Driver Trainer pay stacks on your own rate, tenure included — a six-year driver who trains earns $0.90.
Team mileage is the truck's mileage.
When a team run is advertised at five and a half thousand miles, that's what the truck covers — both drivers combined. Your pay is calculated on your share. Here's a real week, worked all the way through.
Training weeks split the same way. The truck's miles are halved just as they are on any team: the student is paid $0.55 on their half, the trainer $0.82 on theirs.
What a higher-mile schedule can look like.
Higher-mile dedicated team runs can put a regular driver above $130,000.
Annualized from 52 comparable weeks. Not a salary and not a guarantee — actual earnings depend on the assignment, the miles it runs, time off taken and applicable bonuses.
Our operation gives us flexibility. Some drivers prioritize more home time; others prioritize miles and earnings. When current operations allow, we work to match qualified drivers with the best available fit.
