About Roehl's Pay Plans

Roehl offers two main pay plans. Both plans are performance-based. The Performance Bonus Pay Plan is for drivers who want a consistent pay rate with the potential for quarterly bonuses. Drivers earn a cents-per-mile with tenure-based raises and they are also eligible for performance-based bonuses using a scoring system called Your Choice Performance Points.

In the Performance Bonus Plan, drivers do not have a risk of getting a lower cpm. The Premium Mileage Pay Plan allows experienced drivers the opportunity to earn a quarterly raise based on their performance and productivity. Using the same Your Choice Performance Points system, drivers earn points for miles driven plus consistent on-time deliveries, fuel economy, no cargo claims, safe operations, etc. Those points are totaled each quarter, and if a driver performs at a higher level than the performance level they were at, they move up and get a pay increase. Drivers can increase their pay each quarter up to Roehl's top pay rate.
