ShipEX Driver Pay

ShipEX launched in 2007 with just a single truck and trailer. Over the next ten years, the company would grow to more than 350 trucks.

While they may have expanded their fleet, the first-hand, personal experience as truck drivers gave the ShipEX founders a deeper understanding of what truckers go through on a daily basis. That experience reflects in the company’s pay model and culture.

ShipEX Trucking Pay Scale

ShipEX is different from other trucking companies when it comes to salaries and bonuses.

Rather than following the cents per mile model, ShipEX pays their drivers are true salary.

No matter what, drivers can be sure that they will receive the same paycheck every week. Along the way, they have opportunities to boost their compensation through bonuses.

Drivers frequently have to deal with detention, traffic and weather delays that eat into their ability to get the miles they need to earn the salary they want or need. In fact, drivers lose about 20,000 miles every year just because of detention.

Salary pay means that drivers are paid regardless of whether they’re out on the road, stuck in traffic or in detention. What this means is that drivers can make ends meet without worries or having to work even more.

Along with a base salary, ShipEX also gives drivers an opportunity to earn:

• Productivity bonuses
• Compliance bonuses

Drivers can even estimate how much they’ll earn by using the company’s salary calculator.
