Tri-State Trucking Makes Crazy $5,000 Bet For Each New Driver

Betting they Will Make More Than Their Last Job

Tri-State Motor Transit, the leader in high-security trucking, makes an unusual high-stakes bet: All newly qualified trucker drivers will make more money in their first six months driving for Tri-State than they did in the most recent past six months with their prior company. If not, Tri-State will pay them a $5,000 cash bonus. Guaranteed.

John Wilbur, CEO at Tri-State, is putting his money where his mouth is. “Our drivers are the best paid in the industry, and we’re ready to prove it to new drivers. What do they have to lose? If new drivers don’t make more money as promised, then I’ll lose the bet. I hate to lose, but I’ll honor my word and pay up.”

“Many of our Owner Operator Teams make more than $500,000 a year,” says Wilbur. “Our HAZMAT Team Drivers do well, too. Our top driver made $101,287.36 last year. That’s why I’m confident in my guarantee—make more money, or I’m paying drivers $5.000 cash.”
