Epes Transport System Invests Over $1 Million In New Compensation Programs

Epes Transport System, Inc. of Greensboro, N.C., is pleased to announce new compensation plans for both company drivers and independent contractors representing an investment of more than $1 million in its driving force.

“This spring, we improved our independent contractor pay package which has led to sustained growth,” says Phil Peck, vice president of operations for Epes. “In the summer, we increased the hourly pay for local drivers, as well as mileage pay for all company drivers, including regional operations.”

For company drivers, Epes has raised its per-mile pay an additional 2¢, which will boost earnings dramatically. Independent Contractors have all been changed to percentage based pay.

“At Epes Transport, we believe that drivers deserve the best,” says Peck. “We appreciate and recognize their professionalism, dedication, and hard work. So, we want to support our drivers with modern equipment, desirable freight, and quality of life for them and their families.”

Epes Transport is headquartered in Greensboro N.C., with additional terminals located in Charlotte N.C.; Rockwall, Texas; Chester, Va.; Morristown, Tenn.; and, Valdosta, Ga., in addition to several drop yard locations. The dry van regional division operates in the southeast, southwest, Midwest, northeast and Texas. Epes also has a very robust dedicated division with over 50 operations located in several Southeast and Gulf Coast states providing dedicated services including switching/shuttling, store deliveries, yard services and other dedicated offerings.

“We will continue to look at improvements that enhance the driver experience and satisfaction at Epes Transport and give back to our most valuable asset: our drivers,” Peck says.
