Pay is issued weekly by direct deposit. Orientation is paid at $125 per day, with lodging and travel covered. The schedule is three weeks on the road followed by five days at home. Drivers are assigned a truck that they can take home during time off, and 24-hour dispatch support is available. Trucks are late-model Peterbilt 579 Ultralofts with 12-speed automatic transmissions, APUs, refrigerators, 2000-watt power inverters, and double-bunk sleepers. Wi-Fi and satellite radio are available. Trucks have outward-facing cameras only.
