That’s a significant increase for TCD drivers—and we’re glad to do it because we appreciate all they do.”
Student drivers will continue to earn $0.40 per mile, experienced drivers will have a new rate of $0.46 to $0.50 per mile. In addition, drivers can earn up to $.06 per mile pay for performance bonus.
