Over the past 15 years, the trucking industry has struggled with a shortage of truck drivers. In 2019, the American Trucking Association reported that the industry was in need of 60,800 more drivers. They estimate that if the conditions don’t change in the next few years, the industry will be short by over 100,000 drivers. The driver shortage isn’t just affecting large carriers in big cities, but it’s also affecting local, family-owned businesses as well. As a way to maneuver the driver shortage and attract new drivers, Gana Trucking & Excavating has put an emphasis on benefits by offering substantial perks to their employees.
Making the switch to Gana Trucking & Excavating can be a great career move for you. Want to know the benefits? Here’s what our drivers are most drawn to…
Competitive Pay PLUS Benefits
We wouldn’t be where we are without our drivers, so we make sure that we adequately compensate them for their hard work and dedication. With so many companies seeking drivers, we’re willing to pay competitively and offer a complete benefits package to stand out. We offer health, dental, vision insurance, 401K matching, paid holiday, paid vacation, multiple bonus programs, and annual raises.
40 Hours of Pay / Week GUARANTEED
In the Midwest, it’s not uncommon to pause a construction project due to snow, ice, or rain. Even if the weather requires our drivers to stay home, they are guaranteed to get paid 40 hours every week. We know our drivers are dedicated to their work no matter the circumstances, so we feel they should be paid like it.
Hometime EVERY night
We appreciate the time and effort our drivers put into work, but we understand the importance of family time and home life as well, which is why we send our drivers home every night. Most of our drivers are local, but we do have some individuals who commute to Lincoln just to work with us.
Work ALL Year Round
Many construction and trucking companies are seasonal, which means that drivers are out of a job at the end of their contract. Luckily, we have the resources available to work 365 days a year. We stay busy year-round and have projects scheduled months in advance.
