Quality Carriers, Tampa, Fla., the largest tank truck carrier in the nation, has introduced a new compensation program for independent contractors, which it says amounts to an assured minimum of $104,000 per year.

Quality will pay its contractors $.95 per mile plus accessorials for all dispatched miles. This Contractor Assurance Bonus structure, called the C.A.B. Program, is to be paid quarterly to contractors with a bonus based on satisfied criteria set by the company.
"We are very excited about this unique contractor program," said Don Benoit, Quality Distribution Vice President-Operations Support. "As the largest tank carrier in the nation, we are committed to delivering opportunities to contractors that will make their businesses more profitable and stable.
The C.A.B. Program is paid quarterly as a bonus based against a balance of $26,000 for each quarter. The annual contractor earnings are assured to be a minimum of $104,000, with $.95 per mile for all dispatched miles, loaded or empty, in addition to Quality's paid accessorials. Quality Carriers' time at home is based on a ratio of 1.5 days off for every seven on.
Independent contractors interested in joining Quality's C.A.B. Program must possess their CDL-A with hazmat and tank endorsement and have two years verifiable tractor trailer experience. To apply online, visit www.qualitydistribution.com or call 877-WORK4QC (877-967-5472).
