<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nSince Aug. 10, new lease operators with the Dubuque, Iowa-based carrier have been eligible for the Top Tier Incentive Pay Play that includes weekly and monthly incentives and a long-term savings plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s designed for operators to earn $80,000 to $100,000-plus per year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFor us, the big H stands for \u2018home,\u2019 and we want this to be the company that drivers want to be with until they retire,\u201d Hirschbach CEO and president Brad Pinchuk said. \u201cWe are taking our pay to the next level. Our operators deserve it, so we are stepping it up with this revolutionary program.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The incentive plan will earn lease operators an additional 10 cents\/mile for all miles driven, for driving safely throughout the week. The monthly incentive will add additional 10-30 cents\/mile for all miles over 4,000 if operators continue to drive safely and deliver their shipments on-time for the entire four-week period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTruck drivers have long been considered the guardians of the highway, and we want them to be rewarded for it,\u201d Pinchuk said. \u201cThe safety and service incentive will enable safe and high performing drivers to add $1,000-$1,500 every four weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition to the mileage incentive, Hirschbach is introducing the All-In Retention & Rewards Program, a long-term saving plan that will invest in the operator\u2019s future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The carrier will contribute $1,500 in the account every year the operator is with the company. Operators can invest these funds into a variety of mutual funds and watch their investments grow through the company\u2019s on-line portal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt is not just about making sure operators are getting more pay every week and every month,\u201d Hirschbach\u2019s Chief People Officer Jesse Burnette said. \u201cWe also want to make sure they have something to support them when they are ready to move to the next stage in life. The money Hirschbach puts in this account is theirs to manage and is a reward from us for excellent service.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Founded in 1935, Hirschbach offers experienced, refrigerated truckload services to all 48 states with a fleet of more than 2,000 trucks and 3,500 trailers. Its equipment features the latest software, safety, aerodynamic and green technologies and with its Fuel Price Protection Program, lease purchase operators are guaranteed never to pay more than 99 cents per gallon of fuel for the duration of their lease regardless of the pump price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
