Major flatbed truckload carrier, Boyd Bros. Transportation, has announced a 4-cents-per-mile raise for its company drivers effective this week, and have said the new pay package also includes a $900 weekly pay guarantee.
The Clayton, Alabama based company who were established in 1956 has terminals in Birmingham, Alabama, and Cincinnati, Ohio, and hauls primarily steel products and building materials in the eastern two-thirds of the U.S.
The 4 cents per mile increase is available to company drivers across the board, and will apply to all loads picked up on and after September 5, according to a statement from the company.
Additionally, all company drivers are eligible for the $900 weekly guaranteed pay. The weekly guaranteed pay is offered to students who graduate from the Boyd Bros. training program, as well as all current company drivers.
In addition to retaining current drivers, Boyd said it also expects that the new pay package will attract better-qualified candidates to join their growing fleet.
