Tri-State Sets Industry Milestone with Unprecedented GUARANTEED $2,300 Weekly Pay for DOD Team Drivers

Leading the Charge Against Traditional Pay Models to Elevate Driver Compensation

JOPLIN, Mo., March 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- In a groundbreaking shift from industry norms, Tri-State Motor Transit announces the launch of a revolutionary pay structure for its DOD Team Drivers, promising an unparalleled seven-day workweek guarantee of $2,300 starting April 1, 2024. This initiative shatters the traditional pay-per-mile paradigm and firmly positions Tri-State as the vanguard of Driver compensation and welfare in the logistics sector.

Michael Fisk, Vice President of Hiring, Safety, and Development stated, "It's a new dawn for the American truck Driver, who is the backbone of our nation's economy. For too long, their compensation hasn't matched their immense contribution. At Tri-State, we're changing the narrative, prioritizing Driver stability, respect, and a compensation package that reflects their invaluable work and dedication."

The innovative compensation strategy responds to the challenges Drivers face in the industry, including unpredictable earnings and a lack of respect for their profession. The new Tri-State model guarantees significant earnings for DOD individual team Drivers and DOD Teams, advocating for enhanced Driver welfare and professional acknowledgment within the transportation industry.

"Finally, a company that sees our worth and sets the bar high for how Drivers should be compensated. Tri-State's new pay structure brings not just financial stability but a renewed sense of respect for our profession," shared Ty Lander, an OTR Driver at Tri-State since 2012.

The initiative is part of Tri-State's mission to redefine industry standards, focusing on fairness, transparency, and respect for its Drivers. "Our goal isn't just to offer competitive pay; it's about redefining the value placed on our Drivers' crucial role within our success and the logistics industry at large," Fisk added.
