Wage & Benefits
We believe in providing competitive wages for our employees and their families, along with generous benefits and incentives to reward those that roll with us.
NBX is currently offering a $15,000 sign-on bonus – $750 is paid upon hire, $1250 is paid at 90 days, and $750 is paid every 90 days until the first $5000 bonus is reached at approximately 15 months of employment. You will then receive $2500 at two years of employment, $2500 at two and a half years of employment. The final $5000 will be paid at 3 years.
We realize that working the night shift presents an extra challenge. NBX is currently paying an extra $30 per day to all our night drivers with extra incentives on the weekend days. We have an additional Christmas Night-Driver incentive bonus.
We pay a $30 weekend differential to our day drivers and an extra $15 differential to our night drivers (Night drivers will make a $45 differential on Saturdays and Sundays).
NBX employees earn one week of paid time off after the first year of employment. Employees are eligible for two weeks of paid time off following three years of employment. After ten years, employees become eligible for three weeks of paid time off.
