How much would I get paid ?
Driver Supervisors, like Domestic and International Long-haul Drivers, are usually paid by mileage. Your annual salary will be influenced by your location and the size of the company you work for.  Most Driver Supervisors are paid a wage premium that is usually 10-15% higher than the wages paid to a Long-haul Driver.  In addition, some companies may offer performance and safety bonuses, as well as comprehensive benefits packages, including health, dental, retirement, and more.
