Pay and miles are a hot topic in the trucking industry. No surprise. It’s been that way for quite some time. What’s surprising is that Decker has created a honeypot for drivers to feed on in the Midwest.
Truck Driver Salary
Two, actually. After hearing suggestions from our regional drivers, our operations department put their heads together in search of a way to offer BOTH quality home time and guaranteed pay. This may sound like a fairytale to some of you who have been around the industry for a while, but I assure you, it’s legit. We’ve been offering guaranteed pay to our regional drivers who live in the Fort Dodge, Sioux City, Storm Lake, Omaha, Mason City, Chicago, and Milwaukee areas and have seen great success with it.
