Additionally, drivers are also participating in a new bonus program that launched on November 1, which provides incentives for safe driving and superior service performance. Earning top payout on the Safe &amp; On-Time, Every Time Bonus, combined with the base pay increase, is estimated to provide up to a 25 percent total pay increase for eligible drivers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u00a0are very excited about this solo pay\u00a0increase\u00a0and are pleased to offer it at a time when professional truck drivers have been at the center of relief efforts related to the COVID crisis,\u201d said Chief Executive Officer Chad England. \u201cOn average,\u00a0we expect up to\u00a0a 25 percent pay increase for eligible drivers and this is one of the biggest\u00a0we\u2019ve\u00a0ever seen in our industry. We have high expectations of our drivers, but also want to reward them for their hard work and dedication. This is a multi-million-dollar\u00a0investment in our drivers. When you combine this new pay increase with our robust miles and freight\u00a0availability, we truly believe we have put together a world-class compensation package.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition to these increases for the majority of drivers in C.R. England\u2019s OTR Division, the company continues to evaluate and adjust pay for its already highly paid drivers in the Dedicated and Intermodal Divisions.<\/p>\n<p>Not only does C.R.
