Pay is performance based and we offer percentage pay at 30% and option to switch to miles pay
. Every solo driver here is making well over $100k per year and some guys towards $140k when working year around.

- Average pay in peak season is usually between $2100 to $2400 with some rare weeks around $2700+ and a rare slow week around $1900.
