The company offers one of the most comprehensive pay packages in the truckload industry for its qualified drivers. National Divers with one or two years verifiable OTR experience start at $.37 per mile. Drivers with three or less jobs and five years of driving experience in the last five years start at $.40 per mile. In addition, drivers are eligible for a one cent ($.01) per mile annual pay increase. Maximum base pay in the National and other Long Haul Fleets is $.47 per mile based on practical route miles, which would equal $.49 per mile based on short route miles paid by most companies. Crete Carrier pays practical route miles instead of short route miles to our drivers.
Regional and Dedicated Fleets may operate on a slightly different starting mileage rate of pay. Training and Student programs are available for drivers with less than one year of experience. Dedicated and Team Fleet opportunities are also available. Ask your Recruiting Department Representative for details.
All drivers are paid weekly by direct deposit to their bank account or their cash card and have weekly cash advances for road expenses. Payroll is computed from driver paperwork received at the Crete/Shaffer Lincoln, Nebraska terminal. TRANSFLO Express® is available to scan and deliver driver trip documents to the Lincoln, Nebraska, Payroll Department within seconds after being scanned. TRANSFLO Express® is currently available at no cost to the driver at more than 400 Travel Centers across the United States.
