CFI, a truckload fleet based in Joplin, Mo., announced its Experienced Driver compensation package, which pays current and future truck drivers for their professional, over-the-road trucking experience.
The program is designed to reward professional drivers working with CFI or another over-the-road trucking company. The package also rewards military veterans with translatable driving experience.
Professional drivers with one year of experience earn 40 cents per mile. Depending on the level of experience, drivers can earn an increased rate of 1 to 5 cents per mile, in addition to benefits.
The Experienced Driver pay package goes into effect Nov. 26 and follows a 2-cent increase instituted by CFI earlier this year.
CFI has a fleet of 2,400 company tractors and 8,000 trailers in addition to an independent contractor fleet. It is a subsidiary of Canadian-based TFI International Inc.
