Drivers
We know without a doubt that our drivers are our most valuable asset.
Company Drivers
At Trans-Motion, our drivers’ comfort and safety are a priority. We provide late-model, well-maintained, clean equipment to company drivers and employ full-time maintenance staff to ensure that our trucks are running in compliance at all times.
Our hourly drivers also enjoy six paid holidays* after completing a 30-day probation period and one week’s paid vacation after a year of service and one additional day for every year of service thereafter. Company drivers are paid $25/hour for local freight or 56 cents a mile for regional/OTR freight. All freight is 100% NO TOUCH, and about 50% is drop-and-hook.
We understand that time at home is important. Our dispatchers work diligently to make sure that our drivers receive adequate home time. We also strive to provide hours and routes that fit your specific home needs and we do our best to work around requested time off. All drivers are guaranteed to be home on the weekends, if that's what they want.
Company Driver Positions Available:
• Local
• Regional
• Over-the-Road/Long-Haul
Owner/Operators
Trans-Motion works on a blended rate system. We provide our Owner Operators with a 75/25 settlement split on the load’s gross revenue.
We will work to achieve the highest rate of pay for our Owner Operators while making sure that their downtime is limited by charging detention time for any wait time over 2 hours, and our trailer pool allows us to have drop-and-hook freight for about 50% of our loads. Additionally, we also provide Transflo for document imaging to help ensure the timely settlement of all loads delivered. Settlements to the O/O are paid a week in arrears.
In addition to these rates and services, we provide a fuel card for Owner Operators. With this card, operators enjoy substantial discounts on fuel purchases (upwards of .20/per gallon off cash pump price) with specific fueling partners. These fuel savings go straight into the driver’s pocket – not to the company, which helps to ensure greater profitability annually for our drivers.
Our owner-operators enjoy pulling late-model Wabash Dura-plate 53’ Van Trailers and have access to our pool of 100+ trailers. 100% of our freight is no-touch, and our owner-operators reserve the right to refuse any load. Our dispatchers absolutely tailor scheduling according to O/O’s specific needs.
