What is Included in Our Drivers' Mileage Pay?
- Mileage Base Pay - we pay ALL dispatched miles, loaded and empty
- Fuel Surcharge - paid on ALL dispatched miles, loaded and empty
- Handling Compensation
- Mileage bonus - In addition to base pay, you earn more the more miles you run, and your mileage bonus increases the longer you are operating with Atlas.
While many drivers are accustomed to being paid a percentage, our per mile model ensures you never have to be concerned about whether or not the freight you are hauling will provide you the revenue you need to be profitable. By combining our fuel surcharge with the huge discounts received nationwide, your income is stable regardless of fluctuations in fuel pricing. Likewise, your income is steady even when freight transportation costs plummet.
