<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nLong-haul company drivers and independent contractors who have been employed or contracted with TransAm for at least six months received up to a 5-cents-per-mile increase. Drivers not quite at that benchmark will receive an increase after six months of continuous service.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe want to show our gratitude to our noble drivers and accelerate our scheduled pay and rate increases for new drivers,\u201d TransAm Trucking director of recruiting Pamela Caraway said. \u201cOur drivers have proven that they are essential to our country and we are proud to work alongside some of the strongest individuals in the industry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Along with a pay and rate increase, TransAm Trucking has doubled the sign-on bonus to $5,000 for all driving positions. The bonus pays out in four installments of $1,250 after the completion of 30, 60, 90 and 120 days. Once a driver receives their last installment, TransAm offers a monthly driver retention bonus of $200 for company drivers and $250 for independent contractors.
TransAm Trucking, Inc. was founded in 1987 and operates a fleet of more than 1,000 tractors and 1,900 trailers out of its headquarters in Olathe, Kan., offering over-the-road, regional, dedicated and local driving positions. It also maintains a fully-staffed terminal, driver\u2019s center and maintenance facility in Rockwall, Texas, as well as a maintenance and orientation facility in Tampa, Fla.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
