TransAm Trucking recently implemented a pay increase for its long-haul company drivers, and a rate increase for independent contractors.
Long-haul company drivers and independent contractors who have been employed or contracted with Kansas-based refrigerated carrier for at least six months received up to a 5-cents-per-mile increase, the company said. Drivers who have not been employed or contracted for at least six months will receive an increase after six months of continuous service.
“We want to show our gratitude to our noble drivers and accelerate our scheduled pay and rate increases for new drivers with TransAm.” said Pamela Caraway, director of recruiting at TransAm Trucking. “Our drivers have proven that they are essential to our country, and we are proud to work alongside some of the strongest individuals in the industry.”
Along with a pay and rate increase, TransAm doubled the sign-on bonus to $5,000 for all driving positions. TransAm’s sign-on bonus pays out in four installments of $1,250 after the completion of 30, 60, 90, and 120 days. Once a driver receives the last installment of their sign-on bonus, TransAm offers a monthly driver retention bonus of $200 for company drivers and $250 for independent contractors.
