Enjoy the Best Benefits in the Industry
YRC Freight drivers enjoy one of the best benefits packages in the industry—hands down. How does 100% of medical, dental, vision and life insurance paid by the Company for you and your family sound? That’s hard to find these days, and that’s just the beginning of a long list of benefits we’re proud to offer our drivers.
When so many companies are cutting back on benefits, YRC Freight continues to put your health and well-being at the top of our Company priority list. Our drivers work hard and deserve important benefits they can count on.
The benefits package is flexible and gives you many choices to meet your needs and your family’s needs—from the basic day-to-day to the life-changing events that come along. We understand that everyone’s situation is different, so our benefits don’t come in a one-size-fits-all package.
Comprehensive Benefits Focus on You so You Can Focus on Your Work
As a Company, we value the health and well-being of our drivers. It’s what matters most because if you’re worried about other things, you can’t focus on your work. YRC Freight’s benefits packages are the envy of the LTL freight trucking industry, offering competitive coverage in the following areas:
Competitive Pay
Whether you’re on the road or within the city limits, you’ll earn competitive pay based on industry standards. Other companies refuse to pay drivers for time when their loads are delayed or equipment breaks down. Not YRC Freight. If you’re delayed or broken down, we pay you for that time. On top of fair, competitive pay, you can count on:
- Competitive wages with annual increases based on union contract

- Up to $0.59 per mile for road drivers
- Up to $23.75 per hour for P&D drivers

Drivers are eligible to participate in:
- Retail prescription drugs plan
