- Mileage & Extras: Base mileage runs $0.68 to $0.74 CPM, stacked with $28.50–$30 stop pay, $62.50 per NYC drop, $50 per terminal truck move, $15/hr detention pay, and $280 daily holiday pay. Safety training and orientation pay $200 a day ($20/hr).
Shift Schedules & Rest Periods
- Home Routine: Daily resets so you're sleeping in your own bed after every shift.
- Work Cycle: Steady 5-day schedules running either Thursday through Monday or Friday through Tuesday.
- Dispatch Windows: Daytime starts kicking off between 9:00 AM and 1:00 PM.
- Surge Requirements: Mandatory 6th shifts twice a month, plus mandatory 6th shifts around all six major holidays.
