BAYLOR TRUCKING DELIVERS PAY INCREASE FOR 2005!

MILAN, INDIANA. One of the nation’s premier carriers for driver pay and benefits announced today that they will be implementing a pay increase and drive more money home. The new pay package will provide multiple incentives to Baylor’s entire fleet of Dedicated drivers, Regional Drivers, OTR Drivers and Independent Contractors. The pay increase will raise the actual rate per mile per mile and also change the way drivers are paid. The new pay package will pay all drivers on all miles, loaded and empty using PC Miler Practical Mileage Guide Version 18. This coupled with Baylor’s new healthcare options and guaranteed weekly home time makes it the top compensation package for any driver’s lifestyle.

The raise will go into effect the first week of December. Company drivers will now earn up to 49 cents per mile. Independent Contractors will earn 94 cents per mile, all miles loaded and empty using practical miles as the mileage basis. Baylor made the decision to increase pay in 2005 because it wanted be an industry leader once again and ensure that it was driving big bucks home before the holidays.

“Paying and driving using practical miles is the best choice for everyone,” says Bob Baylor, President of Baylor Trucking. “I have a valid CDL license and I use it. My company and I understand the increased traffic on the roadways, the challenges of the job and life on the road. Baylor will pay on the best and safest routes.” Bob Baylor, second generation trucker, works avidly defending and lobbying for drivers, the industry and everyone’s safety.

Baylor proceeded to proudly comment, “The professionalism and service our drivers provide our customers is the reason we can provide such a dramatic increase in pay. We commit to performance and after 60 years, our team keeps trucking along strong.”

The “Driving Big Bucks Home” compensation package will expand the healthcare options for company drivers in all divisions. Supplemental options including vision and dental will be added to the existing healthcare program. All drivers get customized home time plans also. Drivers are guaranteed home weekends if they chose. Baylor dispatches to driver’s preferences, home weekends, weekly or bi-weekly. Drivers are encouraged to live healthy, balanced lives.

Independent Contractors have several advantages at Baylor. The pay and the miles are great but the added programs make the difference. Independent Contractors make money on Baylor’s fuel surcharge program. Fuel purchases are not deducted from settlements until the revenue from the corresponding trip is paid. This alone puts Baylor’s IC’s ahead. Add the small business training program, discount maintenance, consistent routes, free Maptuit, free TripPak, EZ Pass make Independent Contractors happily driving big bucks home weekly.

“We offer the best programs in the trucking world, stability and a family atmosphere, I make sure of it” says Beth Baylor, Recruiting Director at Baylor. For more information about Baylor Trucking call 1-800-322-9567 ext. 570 or visit www.baylortrucking.com
