Additional Pay
Additional pay will be provided to P.A.M. Transport truck drivers in a number of situations, and the amount paid depends upon factors determined by the company. These include:
- Company safety bonus
- Loading or unloading freight
- Extra drop off or pick up
- Layover
- Canadian border crossing
Over the Road Training Pay
After completing CDL training, new drivers begin a 4 to 6 week training period with a P.A.M. Transport driver trainer. This is paid on-the-job training as they continue to “learn the ropes” of becoming a truck driver. During this time, student drivers are paid a salary of $300 per week until training is completed and the student becomes a "first seat" or solo truck driver.
