Celadon Increases Pay For Team Drivers
Topic 14201 | Page 1
Wow! Those are pretty huge numbers. Very huge in fact. Considering a team can normally turn 20,000 - 25,000 miles per month that's some serious dough.

Incredible numbers looks like a few companies will start looking at raising them as well. Once one good company raises there scale other good company's follow! Thanks for the update.
As Brian was saying, this could be a huge trend setter!! I can't wait to see my pay on Friday and see that.50cpm on there!

It would be awesome to see solo driver pay go up a little more too. I'm pretty happy with what I make now but more is always better.

I'm not under contract because I was a 2 day refresher I was not required to sign a contract. My brother whom I team with is under contract and we are just about half way done with those miles. I love this company and would recommend it to anyone. I would also recommend any trucking company because this industry is specifically performance based, that's what I love about it .
