Thank you for your interest in driving for Apex Logistics Services!

Below are a few of our most Frequently Asked Questions. If you have any remaining questions, please don’t hesitate to call, text, or email us.

• What is your pay structure?

  • We pay 30% of the line haul, plus a fuel bonus (50% of savings between the fuel surcharge for the week and the fuel utilization).

  • Weekly Guarantee - $1500 minimum for home nightly, $1600 minimum for home weekly, and up to $1800 for OTR (depending how many days you drive each week)

  • We pay every Friday for the previous calendar week (Sunday-Saturday).

• What is the Home Time?

  • For our Cedar Rapids IA - based positions, you can expect to be home most nights. We also have home-weekly positions or you can drive OTR if you would prefer to maximize your income.

• What are the hours?

  • This varies from day-to-day, but you should expect to use your entire clock most days (11 hours driving, 14 hours on-duty, or both). We continue bringing in more drop-and-hook lanes, to shorten the driver’s day, but this can’t be guaranteed.

  • We do have some flexibility around the time of day that you drive, so let us know your preference. Typically it’s best if you like to start early and our freight is typically ready the night before.

• What type of trucks are in your fleet?

  • We operate all Freightliner Cascadia’s. Currently they are all 2019 113s Automatics with the DD13 engine, with larger sleepers coming soon.

• Which ELD do you use?

  • We utilize the Motive ELD. You can click here for a 40-sec introduction to the ELD interface.

• What type of trailers/freight do you haul?

  • We haul Dry Van general freight (no hazmat, rarely any tanker-endorsed products), ranging from granola bars and cereal to paper rolls and cardboard. We also offer Power-Only to our customers, typically dry vans but occasionally flatbed, step-deck, containers, etc.

• Where do you operate?

  • While we continue to expand our range across the country, our ‘bread and butter’ is servicing the upper-Midwest with a hub-and-spoke model centered around Eastern Iowa. We run loads every day to Chicago, Minneapolis, Omaha, St Louis, and surrounding areas.

• Do you pay on W2 or 1099?

  • We pay exclusively W2, as is the only legal way (and the most fair way for the driver), unless you have your own truck and want to lease-on with us, which we’d be happy to discuss.
