Carbon Express, a Wharton, New Jersey-based bulk chemical transportation company, has increased salaries for its drivers for the second time this year, in addition to the company’s profit-sharing distributions.

“I started my career as a driver and have always believed in rewarding our entire team for their commitment to providing quality service and safety for our customers,” Steve Rush, president and founder of Carbon Express, said. “Pay is only one area that Carbon Express shows our commitment and gratitude to our work family.”

Over the years, Carbon Express has implemented additional benefits for its drivers, including:

• Overnight stays: When company drivers must be on the road for longer trips, Carbon Express pays for hotel expenses.
• Paid for every hour: Drivers are paid for every working hour including when they are at the truck wash.
• Overtime pay: Drivers are paid overtime for any hours worked over 40 each week
• Profit sharing: Profit sharing distributions to the entire Carbon Express staff
• Paid vacation: All employees earn paid vacation time
• Driver training: Carbon Express has just opened a training center specifically for its drivers

“Carbon Express has one of the best teams of hardworking and dedicated staff in the industry, we were voted as the company to watch in 2021 by the Truckload Carriers Association,” said Rush. “We are committed to providing support, whether that’s through new technology, a pay increase or a company bar-b-que. We are one big family."
