How Pay Works

Depending on your route and job, your pay may include:

Mileage pay (CPM): Pay for the miles you drive
Stop pay: Pay for qualifying stops on your route
Pickup pay: Pay for qualifying product pickups
Delivery pay: $0.16 per case plus $0.37 per line item delivered
Drop-and-hook pay: Pay for qualifying trailer drop-and-hook activities
And more!

The exact mix of paid activities will depend on your route, schedule, location, and business needs.

Schedule Options

We know a driving job has to work for your life off the road too. That's why DTI offers several schedule options with regular home time built in.

Traditional ( typically dispatched 5.5 days out of the week) with a 34 hour reset time at home.

All schedule options are designed to get drivers home at least weekly. We work hard to keep schedules as consistent and predictable as possible so you have a better idea of what your time on and off the road will look like. Specific schedules and home time will vary by location and business needs.
