​New Driver Pay Package Announced For Ozark Motor Lines

August 2018

Memphis, TN… Ozark Motor Lines, Inc., a family-owned ground transportation services company based in Memphis, Tenn., has announced a new pay increase for its long haul and regional truck drivers as well as driving teams.

“It’s always great to be able to raise pay for our hard-working professional drivers,” said Patrick Landreth, Vice President of Human Resources & Safety. “These truck drivers have such an important job, Ozark makes it a priority to reward them for it.”

Effective June 1, 2018, experienced over-the-road and regional drivers will receive 2 cents per mile increase while driving teams will receive an additional 1 cent per mile. Also, Ozark Motor Lines is rolling out its first-ever Driver Per Diem program to benefit drivers in response to tax law changes that went into effect earlier this year.
