Experienced Driver Pay & Benefits

Experienced Driver Job Pay and Benefits

Pay and benefits that make a difference in your life.

Earning Potential.

As of November 2024, Roehl drivers with at least one year on the job are averaging $1,360 a week (almost $70,700 a year). It's also important to know that the top 50% of Roehl drivers average $1,540 per week ($80k a year).

Instead of a flat cents per mile pay plan like most other trucking companies, our dynamic pay plan better rewards drivers for their time. And, our address-to-address practical route miles means Roehl drivers are paid for more of the miles they actually drive as compared to HHG or regular practical miles.

Exclusive Extras.
Roehl's long been a leader with innovative driver pay plans, and Roehl covers a ton of extras that most trucking companies can’t touch. You’ll get paid for:

• Intermediate Stops
• Tarping and Untarping (flatbed)
• Hand Load or Unload (95% of our van loads are no-touch)
• Detention Time
• Layover Day
• New York City and Long Island (less than 1% of our freight goes there)
• Canada Pay (if you’re on a fleet that goes into Canada)
• Placard Load Premium
• Refrigerated Modular Unload
• Secondary Load

In a truck driving job with Roehl, you’ll find our benefits both comprehensive and affordable. See a Detailed Description of our Benefits

The Roehl Way

The industry’s top safety program and record. Safety is our cornerstone value—the first and foremost consideration in everything we do, no matter what. That's why we've gone beyond "off-the-shelf" defensive driving programs and developed the concept of "protective driving." As a Roehl driver, you will learn to actively protect yourselves and others.

The Roehl Way Protective Driving Program™ is the most advanced safe driving program in the industry and has resulted in a dramatic reduction in accident rates.

• Drivers have final say on road conditions – if you don’t feel safe, you don’t drive, no questions asked.
• We’ve won trucking’s top honor four times - the American Trucking Association’s (ATA) President’s Trophy Award.
• Two-time consecutive winner of Truckload Carrier Association’s (TCA) Annual Fleet Safety Grand Prize.
