GUARANTEED PAY WITH A PROVEN SYSTEM:
We have a weekly guarantee + mile based compensation. This way, if the dispatchers book shorter loads, the drivers are still make their money without worrying over short miles. If the trips are longer, then there is an incentive to earn more money.
A $1500 + average for a full & unconstrained week is guaranteed regardless of miles. Additional miles over the guarantee result in higher earnings (+60cpm).
We pay weekly with direct deposit (1099 only).
Good performance and team effort lead to bonuses.

GOOD EQUIPMENT:
Freightliner Cascadias and 53' Thermo King Reefers.
Trucks are well-maintained, automatic, with big sleepers, and equipped with ElitePass devices for tolls and weight station bypassing. Most units have APU's as well.

WORK SCHEDULE:
Three weeks out is the minimum OTR requirement so that several good trips can be successfully completed.
For three full & unconstrained working weeks, drivers are guaranteed to bring home over $4500. Four weeks out would be over $6000.
And so on.
The preferred schedule is discussed and agreed upon prior to starting. We honor people's home time and respect their schedule.
Everyone qualified is welcome regardless in what city/state they may live.
For convenience, it is acceptable to park company owned equipment at a safe place near the driver's residence for up to around a week while on break.

PREFERRED OTR AREAS:
We work with various customers/brokers and keep everyone moving smoothly throughout the country.
We don't send anyone to NYC and try to avoid staying in the East Coast.
***Primarily, we work strategically and shift focus to areas with favorable market conditions in order to keep moving***

GROWTH OPPORTUNITY:
Financial experts refer to the W-2 as "50% money." Our goal is to help drivers transition to becoming a 1099 contractors in order to receive bigger checks than standard industry employees. Whether or not they own a truck, SKY Express drivers have the freedom of making their own work schedules in advance.
If you like our company and the truck you are driving, you'll have the option to purchase/lease and become an owner-operator down the road.
