Same base rate for everyone, no waiting to "earn" a higher tier. You'll run retail stores from the Maquoketa hub across the Midwest and Plains, getting home weekly for a full reset. If you've got 3 months of tractor-trailer driving in the last 36 months, or 6 months verified in the last 5 years, and a clean record, you can apply.
What you'll earn
Drivers average about $1,825 a week, roughly $95,000 a year, with an all-in rate near $1.18 per mile. Here's how it adds up:
- Flat base of $0.75 per mile, whatever your experience
- $285 for every full trailer unload
- $20 for every stop
- $50 for every backhaul
Pay arrives weekly.
Sign-on bonus: $2,500, paid over six months
- $500 on your first load
- $500 at 30 days
- $250 each at 60, 90, 120 and 150 days
- $500 at 180 days
How the week runs
- Home weekly for a 34-hour reset
- About 2 loads and 1,500 miles a week, with 3 to 5 stops per route
- Early-morning store arrivals, so some night driving, plus a required 10-hour break before you unload
- Week one is paid ride-along training at $150 a day
What the job is really like
- 100% driver-touch freight: live unloads, box by box, on roller ramps
- Modern Internationals, Freightliners and Kenworths
- Support staff on site around the clock
- You'll need to handle extreme temperatures, stay patient and be good with customers
Before you apply

What comes with the job
- Medical, dental and vision insurance
- 401(k) options
