$5,000 Transition Pay

We understand that changing jobs or starting a new career can be a challenge. At TransAm, we offer Transition Pay for new drivers. This is paid in four installments after completing 30, 60, 90, and 120 days.

$500 - First 30 Days Under Contract Program

We understand that the first 30 days of your contract are important. That's why we want to reward your dedication. If you voluntarily elect to make your tractor available for the first 30 days of your agreement, we will pay you $500.

$500 - Calendar Month Program

Why only be compensated for your hard work and dedication for the first month? If you voluntarily elect to make your tractor available every day for a calendar month, we will pay you $500.

$0.01 Per Mile - Rate Increase Eligibility

We get it. Homework is something you never thought you would want to do again. But if it means getting extra money, it might be worth it to you. If you voluntarily take all 4 quarterly safety classes during your contract year in addition to the Ethics and Technique class, we will give you a $0.01 per mile rate increase.
