Driver Austin Dunaway, who joined Cardinal five years ago, says his driving job offers something new to enjoy every day.

“I drive a 36-foot flatbed with a moffett hauling around building supply materials to homeowners, businesses, and new construction – all that,” says Dunaway. “I do love the flatbed job and riding the moffett. You get something new every day; it’s not just bumping docks or anything like that. You can get out and meet people, get a different route every day but get to be home every night, which is nice.”

The North Chicago opportunity offers average annual gross earnings of $85,000 or more per year plus a $5,000 sign-on bonus. Since it is a dedicated account, drivers on this run get home daily and have a predictable local route.

Other advantages to joining Cardinal Logistics include our paid holiday time and comprehensive benefits package at 30 days. “Cardinal offers amazing benefits,” Dunaway says. “It’s a very good company to work for.”

Cardinal has a variety of opportunities to help truck drivers advance their careers through different dedicated routes. Cardinal Logistics says it believes that those who drive their trucks are people first and drivers second.

To be qualified, candidates need their Class A CDL, 9 months tractor-trailer experience in the last 3 years and be at least 21 years of age.

The post Cardinal Logistics offers daily home time on runs out of North Chicago appeared first on Truck Drivers USA.

“I have been with Cardinal for nine years,” says driver-trainer Leon Jeffcoat. “What keeps me at Cardinal is them keeping their promise.”

One of those promises is daily home time. “Cardinal’s dedicated lanes and home time are priceless. There’s nothing like being able to work on a job you enjoy and at the same time having family time, having home time,” says Leon.

Fellow Cardinal driver Jonathan Rivera, who’s been with the carrier for five years, focuses on home time as well. “What originally brought me to Cardinal was home time. I came from a company where I was out three weeks at a time and now I’m home every day, so that’s a big thing,” Rivera says.

Another key selling point is excellent equipment and technology to keep drivers safe on the road.  “When I think about the technology and equipment Cardinal offers, I think it’s state of the art.  It’s a constant reminder of the importance of safety,” Leon says, “They make you feel wanted and important to the company. When I look at other industries in the same market that don’t have the equipment, you can really tell the difference.”

Jonathan says freedom and flexibility also add to job satisfaction. “What I like best about my job is I get to plan my own day, just my own schedule,” he says. “Most of the drivers on my account don’t start until later in the day. I like that. Another thing is family time. That’s big for me.”

When asked what Leon and Jonathan would say to drivers looking for a better career home, they agree.

“I would describe Cardinal to a potential driver like this: If you enjoy home time and you love feeling needed and important to a company, come and join the Cardinal family,” Leon says.

Jonathan adds, “If you want home time, if you want technology, if you want safety, if you want family, if you want all that stuff, Cardinal is a great company to work with.”

In addition to average annual gross earnings of $89,000 or more per year, the Tekonsha, Mich., opportunity offers a $5,000 sign-on bonus and daily home time on a dedicated, predictable, local route. Other advantages to joining Cardinal Logistics include our paid holiday time and comprehensive benefits package at 30 days.

To be qualified, candidates need their Class A CDL, 9 months tractor-trailer experience in the last 3 years and be at least 21 years of age.

@montgomerytransport We just matched the largest pay increase in company history with another $.03 CPM bump in driver pay! #mtmoneyteam #flatbedder #majorbagalert ♬ Major Bag Alert (feat. Migos) – DJ Khaled

The post Montgomery Transport just matched the largest pay increase in company history with another $.03 CPM bump in driver pay! appeared first on Truck Drivers USA.

“We’re always looking for ways to enhance our drivers’ experiences and feed their future,” said
Mike Franco, Tyson Foods Director of Driver Recruiting. “We are pleased to announce we have
implemented a 4 cents per mile (CPM) across the board pay increase for drivers in our
refrigerated division. This increase, combined with other enhancements, equates to a 10%
increase in our drivers’ earnings. Now, our reefer division drivers can earn $85,000+ per year.”

According to Franco, Tyson Foods continuously monitors driver pay to remain competitive to
both retain current drivers and recruit new drivers into its private fleet.

In addition to the pay increase in the refrigerated division, Tyson Foods has announced an
increase in its safety bonus if all qualifications are met in the calendar year. “This is a
progressive bonus so as long as you’re a safe driver, which means meeting our safety
requirements, your bonus goes up,” says Franco. “For example, for safe driving in the first
quarter, drivers earn an additional 1 CPM; for safe miles in second quarter, drivers earn an
additional 2 CPM, and so on. The bonus increases each quarter up to an added 4 CPM by fourth
quarter. Then the bonus starts over at the start of the next fiscal year. Potential safety bonus
money adds up to $3,300 for the year.”

In 2021, Tyson also added about $6,011 per driver in bonuses, 401(k) and stock matching.

Tyson’s Layover Policy has also been addressed and improved. “The main improvement is that
layover qualifying time has changed from an 18-hour period to a 12-hour period,” says Franco.
“All other requirements remain the same, including the $100 pay out. For example, Tyson Foods
will pay $100 if its company driver is not loaded (or repositioned over 200 miles) within 12
hours of prior scheduled delivery appointment.”

The IRS has increased the per diem allowances based on the increased cost for drivers to live out
on the road. Tyson Foods is passing that savings along to truck drivers by increasing the per
diem allowance by .01 cent per mile, and not taking any cuts.

To give drivers time to rest and catch up on family time, Tyson Foods offers the ability to earn
additional time off. For drivers, this can equate to two additional vacation days in a calendar
year.

Tyson Foods also offers weekly home time, a generous group health plan as low as $15.50/week,
100% no touch freight and much more. To join Tyson’s private fleet, applicants must be at least
21 years old and have at least 9 months of verifiable tractor-trailer experience within the last
year, a valid CDL-A in your state of residence and live within one of the company’s hiring areas.
