Hornady Transportation, a Daseke company based in Monroeville, Alabama, announced Wednesday a sign-on bonus of $6,000 to experienced drivers with at least a year of recent flatbed experience.

The bonus pays out over 18 months in three-month increments to company drivers signing on with the company before the end of January, according to a statement from the company. The company is also providing $4,000 in Daseke stock for those who sign on before Christmas. The full stock amount vests over a period of five years.

The company also announced a new financial award for company drivers who have been with the company for 10 years or longer.

“We want to honor our long-term drivers with an added $1,000 bonus, plus give them $1,000 for every subsequent year going forward,” said Chris Hornady, Hornady’s chief executive officer. “It’s our way of thanks for continuing to drive for Hornady.”

Hornady, which operates nearly 300 trucks, supports the building products and steel industries.
