Driving benefits

for the best in driving

Drivers are the backbone of our business and we truly appreciate their efforts every day. With excellent pay and employee benefits, our compensation package is designed to afford a comfortable and rewarding lifestyle.

Nussbaum pays PRACTICAL MILES

We believe that your paid miles should more closely reflect your real trip miles.  "Practical Miles" are more accurate than "Short Miles" commonly used in the industry.  Practical Miles are approximately 4% higher than Short Miles (the equivalent of $0.015 to $0.02/mile).  What does that mean for you? This means that you will get paid MORE miles each week and see more money on every paycheck.
