Beacon Transport Jobs Offer More Than Pay
Of course, the paycheck is the reason anybody works. Beacon Transport wants to go a few steps further than offering the bare minimum.
Benefits
An employee at Beacon Transport has the opportunity to take advantage of a multitude of benefits.
These include medical insurance, dental insurance, and both long-term and short-term disability insurance. These insurance plans are offered at group rates which lowers the employee’s monthly premiums. A life insurance policy of $15,000 on the employee is included with Beacon Transport jobs.
Saving for your future is made easy with a 401(k) plan.
Vacation pay ensures the employees get the rest they need without sacrificing their paycheck. And while you’re in town, a weekly direct deposit makes payday as easy as possible.
Bonuses
We love to recognize when an employee is excelling in their field. Beacon Transport offers a series of bonuses and potentials for a raise:
- Safety/Performance raise
- Referral bonus
- Clean inspection bonus
Help on the Road
Beacon Transport’s service area has been tailored to maximize profitability for our employees. This means our service area doesn’t extend to high-traffic areas like New York City. Other high-traffic areas like Chicago are made easier with the I-Pass. E-Z Pass and PrePass are also offered to make the drives as seamless as possible.
An experienced assigned dispatcher is available for each driver. This ensures any questions that may come up will be dutifully answered. And if you happened to get stuck with a long load/offload, detention pay will make sure you don’t feel like you’re wasting your time.
Adequate Equipment

- Assigned late model 670 Condo Volvos
- 100% No touch freight – General Commodities/Non-Hazardous
- 2.5 to 1 trailer/tractor ratio – to accommodate drop and hook freight
