Pickup pay:

The exact mix of paid activities will depend on your route, schedule, location, and business needs.

We know a driving job has to work for your life off the road too. That's why DTI offers several schedule options with regular home time built in.4x4: 4 days on, 4 days off (most home time)
6x3: 6 days on, 3 days off
Traditional:
About 5.5 days on the road each week (highest paying option)
All schedule options are designed to get drivers home at least weekly. We work hard to keep schedules as consistent and predictable as possible so you have a better idea of what your time on and off the road will look like. Specific schedules and home time will vary by location and business needs.
