Maquoketa Retail Driver | $1,825 a Week, About $95,000 a Year | Flat $0.75 Per Mile

Same base rate for everyone, no waiting to "earn" a higher tier. You'll run retail stores from the Maquoketa hub across the Midwest and Plains, getting home weekly for a full reset. If you've got 3 months of tractor-trailer driving in the last 36 months, or 6 months verified in the last 5 years, and a clean record, you can apply.

What you'll earn Drivers average about $1,825 a week, roughly $95,000 a year, with an all-in rate near $1.18 per mile. Here's how it adds up:

• Flat base of $0.75 per mile, whatever your experience
• $285 for every full trailer unload
• $20 for every stop
• $50 for every backhaul

Pay arrives weekly.

• $500 on your first load
• $500 at 30 days
• $250 each at 60, 90, 120 and 150 days
• $500 at 180 days

How the week runs

• Home weekly for a 34-hour reset
• About 2 loads and 1,500 miles a week, with 3 to 5 stops per route
• Early-morning store arrivals, so some night driving, plus a required 10-hour break before you unload
• Week one is paid ride-along training at $150 a day

What the job is really like

• 100% driver-touch freight: live unloads, box by box, on roller ramps

• The experience above and a clean driving record
• Comfort with a urine and hair follicle drug screen

What comes with the job
