Freight
What our drivers like the most is this job is our shipments are primarily NO TOUCH and lightweight (typically 15,000 – 25,000 lbs.), which is easy on an owner operator’s rig and fuel budget! Atlas is widely known for household moving. But while the CTD transports household goods in peak season, these drivers are moving full truckload shipments (not lumping boxes or furniture) from dock to dock, yard to yard and primarily in the summer. Other goods more commonly transported by CTD include store fixtures, furniture, office furniture, electronics, and trade show exhibits.

What is Included in Our Drivers' Mileage Pay?
The mileage rate we advertise is based on the recent division average. We don't advertise the "up-to" or top pay in the division. We advertise the average to be most fair and transparent with our contractors. Here is a breakdown of what is included in that average:
- Mileage Base Pay - We pay ALL dispatched miles, loaded and empty on Atlas tariff loads
- Percentage Base Pay - 80% of the gross revenue for any shipment not subject to an Atlas Tariff (Example: third-party brokerage loads).
- Fuel Surcharge - Fuel surcharge is paid on loaded miles when hauling Atlas tariff shipments, and is calculated by the EIA reported national average and our corresponding fuel surcharge for that range.
- Tolls and Bridge Charges paid nationwide (Exceptions: IN I-90 & PA I-76 between exit 28 & exit 226)
- Annual Mileage Bonus - You earn more the more miles you run, and your mileage bonus increases the longer you are operating with Atlas.
- Additional Pay - Compensation includes stop pay, detention, liftgate usage, equipment inventory and reset, and more.
While many drivers are accustomed to being paid a percentage, our per-mile model ensures you never have to be concerned about whether or not the freight you are hauling will provide you the revenue you need to be profitable. By combining our fuel surcharge with the huge discounts received nationwide, your income is stable regardless of fluctuations in fuel pricing. Likewise, your income is steady even when freight transportation costs plummet.
What Are the Mileage Bonuses?
While most companies lean on sign-on bonuses, paid out at different points throughout the year, we pay a startup mileage bonus.
Beginning in your second year, annual mileage bonuses apply and continue to increase over time.
How is Fuel Surcharge Determined and Paid?
Our owner operators benefit from fuel surcharge paid on loaded miles when hauling Atlas tariff shipments. Fuel surcharge is provided based on current D.O.E. National Average.
