Our experienced dispatchers (10+ years average) keep a low ratio (~5 trucks per dispatcher) so they can focus on you — flexible home time, the loads/miles you want, and support when needed.

For average drivers slow season typically is between $1,900–$2,100 and Peak season $2,100–$2,400 - rare slow weeks during slow season can dip to $1,500, rare peak weeks during busy season can hit $2,700+. Most weeks fall between $1,900–$2,400 depending on season overall. Rule of thumb: Just expect peak seasons to be better overall and pay to be on the high end most of the time. On a normal year, Q1 is slow, Q2 is peak, Q3 mediocre, Q4 peak. For the last 25 years, excluding crazy covid years, this has been the consistent pattern.     Average Company Pay Statistics for Full Time Drivers: </div><ul><li>87% of drivers chose percentage pay in 2025. Miles seems to be an industry problem recently.</li><li>Top year around runners (the top 5 percenters) hit the $145,000 range last year in 2025.</li><li>Most top runners were somewhere in the $125,000 range in 2025.</li><li>Average drivers good at what they do but not top tier still made $115,000 range last year. </li><li>In 2025, nobody made less than $104,000 when running full time here ($104,130 to be exact).</li><li>Drivers who were seasonal or had excessive home time were considered outliers and not included.</li></ul><div>    Preferred Percentage Based Solo Driver Pay - Better in this 1 to 2 day run market:</div><ul><li>We are paying up to 30% line haul plus bonuses. In this post covid market, drivers drive less and make more on this.</li><li>Average pay in dead season is usually between $1900 to $2100 with some rare best weeks of about $2400+ and a rare slow week of about $1500.</li><li>Average pay in peak season is usually between $2100 to $2400 with some rare best weeks of about $2700+ and a rare slow week of about $1900.</li><li>Average miles on percentage pay is reduced on purpose. We not only save fuel but our contracts make more by the mile. It's a win/win. Usually 2000 to 2500 miles in slow season and up to around 3000 in busy. You don't have to chase the dragons tail with miles or get burnt out to make more. Plenty of time to make your stops as well and fewer missed appointment times on drops and pickups.

Some drivers do more than others. We run alternate routes with miles pay drivers. However, the market isnt what it used to be. The long east west runs are dead in dry van (for the time being).</li><li>The average gross income is roughly $1600 to $2400 legal max per week per driver. A bit less for automatic only drivers.</li></ul><div>Team Driver Pay (Miles Based Pay Only):</div><ul><li>Want to drive in a team provided you have a team member?</li><li>Up to 75 cents per mile plus bonuses. Depending on the EXP and MVRs of the team.</li><li>Average miles when doing miles pay is anywhere between 5500 and 7000 per wk.
