Calculation & source notes

Role-specific advertised earnings take precedence over a mileage/workload model. Rate and accessorial terms remain separate; no loads, stops or bonuses are added to this total. Uses the midpoint of each advertised rate/work-volume range, not a measured driver average. Gross earnings before taxes, not take-home pay.

Automatically checked against exact excerpts on a retrieved official recruiting page. This may be a general recruiting opportunity, not a dated vacancy. Expected-pay estimates include applicable recurring bonuses assuming their conditions are met, while one-time bonuses remain separate; employment setup and hiring eligibility remain unknown unless explicitly stated. Advertised pay is not verified payroll. W-2 assumed because employee benefits are listed and the role does not specify W-2 or 1099. Solo assumed because the source does not specify solo or team driving.

A−Job offer grade

How this job offer grade is calculated

Based on the available source evidence, not a market rank. Missing job details or comparable offers limit the pay comparison.

The same weighted rubric applies to every carrier. Comparable recurring pay has the greatest influence, with pay credibility, documented benefits, minimum guaranteed pay (presence and amount), home time, and source quality and freshness also factored in. Missing information uses neutral placeholders, not an assumption that a benefit is absent.

Comparable pay: Neutral placeholder: comparable categories, current individual pay, or at least 3 other carriers are not yet confirmed.
Pay credibility: Advertised base / range. Advertisements are not independently verified earnings.
Minimum guaranteed pay: Minimum guaranteed pay is not established by the cited offer; neutral placeholder, not a confirmed absence.
Benefits: Documented benefits: Dental / vision, Retirement plan, Employer retirement match, Paid leave / holidays, Life / disability insurance. Unlisted benefits are unknown, not confirmed absent; costs, eligibility and exclusions still require confirmation.
Home time: Minimum 2 weeks out (2 days home) 1 week out (34 hour reset at home weekly) for select states only: GA, OH, NC, SC, IN, KY, OH
Source quality & freshness: Direct official / verified source. Oldest evidence 0 days old.

This assessment is provisional because some evidence or comparable offers remain unconfirmed.

Offer assessment, not a carrier rating or a promise of actual earnings. Every carrier is assessed using the same weighted evidence-based rubric. No carrier receives a guaranteed grade or a sponsor-based score adjustment.
