internship
Get hands-on experience in the trucking and logistics side of agriculture. Our internship program puts you in the middle of the work — dispatch, operations, safety, the people who keep freight moving — so you leave with real experience, not just a title on a resume. Applications are open now through October 31, 2026.

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.
weekend differential
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.

Employees are eligible to participate in a 401(k) retirement plan after three months of service. NBX will match 100% of your 5% retirement contribution. We offer both traditional and Roth options.
Holiday Pay
NBX provides six paid holidays per year. Cattle have to eat every day. Cattle and feed must be hauled on holidays. NBX appreciates the sacrifices our employees make. Employees who work holidays are paid extra for that day.
Insurance
HEALTH INSURANCE: NBX employees are provided excellent health care coverage at a very low cost. Family members can also be added for medical insurance, including vision and prescription drug coverage. Dental insurance is also available at additional cost.
LIFE INSURANCE: NBX provides our employees with term life insurance with a death benefit of $25,000 and we pay 100% of the employees’ premiums.
SUPPLEMENTAL INSURANCE: A variety of supplemental policies are available to our employees such as Accident, Hospital Indemnity, and Critical Illness. At orientation, all these options will be explained to you.

NBX provides an annual performance bonus program to all full time employees. The program provides monetary rewards to employees for superior performance, safe work practices, a clean work environment and achievement of departmental goals. We pay this just before Christmas.

We’re always looking for good people, people who want to learn and do better.
