At Hayes Transport, we realize each driver’s needs differ, whether personally, professionally, and/or financially. As a result, we have developed two pay packages (Traditional Per Mile or Salary / Per Mile) based on each driver’s planned annual miles, to fit varying preferences.

Salary Payroll System

110,000 miles/year $75,000 Base, plus additional .78 cents per mile for all miles over 110,000 miles

120,000 miles/year $85,000 Base, plus additional .80 cents per mile for all miles over 120,000 miles

130,000 miles/year $95,000 Base, plus additional .83 cents per mile for all miles over 130,000 miles

Qualifications:

• Must sign up for salary program
• Commit to monthly/quarterly mileage goals
• Maintain 2% PC miler goal

Traditional Per Mile

Paid on PC Miler Practical

All drivers are paid on PC Miler Practical.  This is a national routing system that routes a driver based on 53’ trailer legal routes, NOT the shortest miles that some mid to large size companies pay on. In our pay package, our drivers are eligible for a 1 cent per mile bonus on all miles for the year if their hub miles are within 2% of the practical miles. For the past 10 years over 90% of our drivers received this bonus, that is how fair and exact this mileage routing system is.

Base Pay

Base pay is determined by your driving history and experience. Pay starts at 59 cents per mile ( 1 year experience ) to 65 cents per mile.. We value safe and experienced drivers and reward them with increased starting pay.

Productivity Bonus

If a driver averages 10,000 miles per month over a quarter there is an additional 1 cent per mile paid in addition to your base pay.

If a driver averages 11,500 miles per month over a quarter there is an additional 2 cents per mile paid in addition to your base pay.

Holiday Pay

We pay $50 for six holidays throughout the year whether the driver is working or not.

Both Packages also include the following:

East Coast Bonus

For all miles driven with an East Coast delivery (VA, WV and north) there is an additional 5 cents per mile paid in addition to your base pay.

Paid Drops & Pick-Ups

When a driver leaves from our terminal on Friday, Saturday or Sunday the trailer has been preloaded for them. If a driver leaves on a Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday 80% of the trailers are preloaded. If a driver has to load their own outbound load, we pay the driver for this first pickup.  It is customary for many trucking companies to not pay for the first pick up. We pay $25 for the first pickup and $25 for every drop after the 1st.  If more than one load is needed to get the driver home, the additional pickups and drops are paid for also.

Safety Bonus

1 cent per mile is paid on a quarterly basis if the driver does not have any at fault accidents or safety violations on the road.

Detention Pay/Layover Pay

Detention and layovers are paid on a per occurrence basis.  We try to be as fair as possible and try not to put drivers in these unfortunate situations. Our current Layover pay is $100/day.

Fuel Bonus

We provide an opportunity for the driver to earn extra money for increased fuel economy based on the truck and engine model.

$75 Expense Money

Every Friday your EFS Fuel card loads up with $75 which you will have full access to for personal advances and company related expenses.  If company expenses exceed this amount, money will be added to your card. All of our trucks have refrigerators, so our drivers are able to reduce their food expense.  Our trucks are equipped with EZ Pass so most all of the toll roads are charged automatically, instead of stopping and using cash.

I-PASS

I-Pass is a single transponder you place in the window of your truck that automatically pays for tolls in Illinois and eastern toll roads.
