Drivers are paid weekly and receive a free iPad with a data package to stay connected with family and friends. The company also embraces progressive policies, including accommodating pets and riders on board, and provides access to the Rolling Strong driver app. Lounge facilities enhance the driver experience by offering complimentary essentials like soap, shampoo, towels, toothbrushes, toothpaste, laundry soap, and food items such as pizza and sandwiches.
