Roehl Transport Inc announced that it has raised pay for the second time this year effective July 22. The company is increasing pay for its refrigerated, flatbed and curtainside fleets where customer demand is strongest.
These fleets have some of Roehl’s most complicated and demanding work such as monitoring load temperatures and ensuring food safety requirements are met, securing and tarping loads, and working directly with customers to plan multiple stops.
In Roehl’s Primary Commercial Zone, experienced flatbed drivers can start at 59 cents-per-mile, refrigerated drivers can start at 58 cents per mile and curtainside drivers can start at 57 cents per mile. These rates are based on Practical Route miles that tend to be 8% higher than household goods miles. Plus, in Roehl’s Your Choice Pay Plan, drivers can earn an increase each quarter up to the company’s top rate.
“The second pay increase this year on these fleets demonstrates Roehl’s commitment to our value of driver success and to meeting our customers’ needs,” said Tim Norlin, vice president of driver employment. “We also introduced Pay Accelerators this year for experienced drivers that enhance their earnings while they learn our processes and procedures.”
Roehl has long been recognized as a Top Pay Certified Carrier by the National Transportation Institute, publisher of the National Survey of Driver Wages. This pay increase reinforces Roehl as one of the highest paying truckload carriers.
The firm offers professional drivers a variety of fleet and home time options including national, regional and dedicated positions with most drivers receiving weekly home time.
