NextGen has already implemented top-tier pay structures for it's drivers for the last 5 years. The average driver makes well over $0.50 per mile and some upwards of $0.65 per mile. NextGen would love to pay more, but the rates from carriers need to increase to accommodate that. Something has to to give soon or the so-called "driver shortage" issue will continue.
