Pay Scale

Base Pay Scale

Shaffer Trucking offers one of the most comprehensive pay packages in the truckload industry. Drivers with one or two years verifiable OTR experience start at 40¢ per mile. With up to five (5) or more years of recent experience you can start at 43¢ per mile. Our drivers are eligible for a 1¢ per mile annual pay increase up to the maximum base pay of 48¢ per mile in the National Fleet – That’s the equivalent of 50¢ per mile other companies would have to pay if they are paying on short route miles. You can add an average of another 1.5¢ to 2¢ per mile to your mileage pay for stop and drop, etc. pay to get the true annual mileage rate of pay which is reflected in your paycheck. All of Shaffer Trucking’s pay programs are based on the more accurate Practical Route mileage guide instead of traditional short route miles.

Shaffer Trucking Regional Divisions operate on a slightly different pay scale, with most Regional Divisions having a top mileage pay of 46¢ to 48¢. Driver Development programs are available for drivers with less than one year experience. Dedicated fleet opportunities are available at various locations around the country. Ask your recruiter for details. Transflo Express truck stop imaging is provided at no expense to facilitate immediate payroll and trip processing. The average annual earnings for Shaffer Trucking drivers for 2009 was between $48,000 and $54,500 depending on the division in which they drove.
