CAREER!
The Training period consists of a minimum of 180 hours behind the wheel, which takes approximately 1 month. The calculation of average pay in Training is based
on full-time weeks for drivers from August 2014 to November 2014.
After Training you’ll be able to choose or be assigned a new teammate and drive as a team for the remainder of your first 6 months. In some instances, the Teaming phase
may be completed early if you are selected for a solo Dedicated, Regional, or Intermodal opportunity in the first 6 months. This will be dependent on a variety of factors
including your skill set, available positions, etc. The Teaming weekly pay estimates are based on average weekly miles of full-time weeks for employee team drivers in their
first 6 months from December 2013 to November 2014. Mileage averages are multiplied by the rate per mile applicable to each month, plus average additional accessorial
pay from the same period.
Full-time weeks are defined as 30 or more hours in a pay period. Outliers, defined as anything above or below two standard deviations, are excluded. Your actual pay will
depend on how hard you work and how much you drive, among other factors.
*$9.25/hr for driving hours. Non-Driving hourly pay will vary by state of residence.
