Driver Benefits
Star Fleet has designed a driver program that creates a straightforward approach to doing business and one that should assist an independent driver in becoming a successful owner operator.
Comparable pay with Industry - This includes base mileage pay plus fuel surcharge if one is in effect at the time. Pay miles are calculated using PC miler for consistency.

Quick Lease On - Usually approved in one day with proper paperwork. Once approved, driver is available for dispatch.

No Probationary Period - Equivalent pay and trip assignments for all drivers.

One Point of Contact - Drivers communicate directly with terminal manager and pay processors.

Flexible Dispatch - Dispatchers work with drivers to accommodate personal requests but as a normal rule you will be expected to take dispatched trips as they are assigned.

Backhaul Assistance - A dedicated Star Fleet dispatcher locates backhaul trips to assist returning drivers.

Quick Driver Pay - Trip advances and settlements are loaded on your electronic card twice daily. Settlements are processed immediately upon completion and arrival of paperwork.

Minimal Upfront Expense - A one-time charge of $50 deducted from the first trip covers the cost of application processing, drug testing, MVR reports and ICC signs.
