Nussbaum Transportation and Roehl Transport have announced their second driver pay increases of 2026, continuing a broader trend of rising compensation across the trucking industry as freight capacity tightens and carriers compete to attract and retain qualified drivers. Illinois-based Nussbaum Transportation is increasing several parts of its driver compensation program, including activity pay, detention pay, weekly minimum guarantees, and trainer compensation. The carrier previously introduced the largest driver pay increase in its history in May, which included higher mileage rates, expanded guarantees, and a new profit-sharing program. Under the newest changes, activity pay will increase from $20 to $23 for every pickup, delivery, and stop-off. Pay for trailer relays and shuttles will rise from $12 to $15 per event. Nussbaum’s detention pay will also increase 25%, from $20 to $25 per hour, while continuing to begin after one hour of waiting. The company will raise its weekly minimum guarantee by $50 per week. Drivers assigned to its special Illuminate Loop project will receive an additional $50 weekly. Meanwhile, trainer pay will increase 50%, from an additional $500 to $750 per week, on top of regular mileage, activity, and guaranteed compensation. Nussbaum said its compensation approach is designed to pay drivers for duties that traditional cents-per-mile systems may overlook. These include time spent at guard shacks, staging trailers, completing paperwork, handling pickups and deliveries, and waiting at docks. The company noted that drivers handling numerous shorter loads may perform significantly more hands-on work despite accumulating fewer miles. Roehl Transport has also announced its second pay increase this year. The Wisconsin-based carrier said the combined increases represent one of the largest driver compensation investments in its history. The new rates will take effect October 4 for most company drivers in Roehl’s Refrigerated, Flatbed, Van, Curtainside, and Dedicated divisions. According to Roehl, many of its highest-earning professional drivers could earn more than $100,000 annually while receiving weekly home time and, in some cases, returning home daily. The company also announced increased compensation for owner-operators and lease operators who partner with Roehl. Earlier in 2026, Roehl increased compensation based partly on driver longevity and tenure, including drivers who entered the industry through its on-the-job CDL training program. The carrier also increased Certified Driver Trainer compensation and added retention bonuses. Other fleets are making similar moves. Anderson Trucking Service recently increased its company flatbed mileage rate by 16.7%, from 60 cents… [TheTopNews] Read More.5 days ago - How Climate Change Is Disrupting Summer Travel

- Many Health Care Grad Students Can’t Get the Loans They Need
With her senior year of college now underway, Mitzie Westgate has begun planning what she’ll do after graduation next spring. An exercise science major, she hopes to go straight to graduate school and pursue a doctorate in occupational therapy so she can open a nonprofit to help children with disabilities like her cousin, who has cerebral palsy. But thanks to unprecedented confusion around federal student loans, she can’t firm up plans or even decide where to apply until she sees how the chaos shakes out. “It’s kind of up in the air whether I’ll be able to pay for college” after this year, said Westgate, a 21-year-old senior at the College of Charleston in South Carolina. Tuition and other costs at her top choices—Quinnipiac University in Connecticut, the University of New Hampshire, and the Medical University of South Carolina—could far outpace federal loan limits, she said. That could leave her able to afford only a single smaller school, Johnson & Wales University in her home state of Rhode Island, where she could save money by living with her parents but would graduate with fewer professional connections. She still plans to apply to more expensive schools and hopes that scholarships will cover some of the cost. “I’m kind of playing it by ear,” she said. Congress last year removed dozens of graduate-level programs from the U.S. Department of Education’s list of “professional” degrees, a reclassification that set tight limits on federal loans students can borrow to pay for graduate school. Westgate’s dream program—occupational therapy—is among those that could cost students far more than they can now borrow from the federal government, leaving many wondering whether to rely on more expensive private loans to cover the remainder. Under the Grad PLUS program, students could borrow up to the full cost of attendance. The new law, which took effect July 1, eliminated Grad PLUS and limits federal loans to $20,500 per year and $100,000 in total for most graduate programs, with higher limits of $50,000 annually and $200,000 in total for just 11 professional programs. A lawsuit by nursing groups and other health care and educational associations led a judge to suspend the rule restricting higher limits until at least December, making it difficult for students to plan for the 2027-28 school year even as they apply for graduate school this fall. Depending on how the lawsuit goes, some degrees with higher… [TheTopNews] Read More.5 days ago
