This includes day one eligibility for medical, dental, and vision coverage, life, accidental death and dismemberment (AD and D), and disability insurance at no cost—providing peace of mind and support for drivers and their families. The company also offers telemedicine and mental health resources, underlining a commitment to holistic health and wellness. Paid time off covers both vacation and holidays, alongside paid parental leave that extends up to eight weeks for primary caregivers and two weeks for secondary caregivers, supporting employees during important family milestones.

Employees can also take advantage of tuition assistance programs providing up to $5,250 annually for degrees and certificates, and professional development opportunities including language courses and business certifications. Operational benefits include company-assigned trucks, a company matching stock purchase plan, no-touch freight, drop pay for all drops, and safety bonuses for drivers maintaining excellent safety records.
