Accessorial Pay

It is important upon arrival to the customer, that the load be properly secured and tarped. WVT is proud to present a professional image upon arrival to our customers. As a driver, you are responsible for maintaining the tarps and securement equipment. WVT hauls various commodities. The more commodities a driver is qualified to secure, the better the opportunity to increase loaded miles which means an increase in your income. Outlined below are the fees paid to secure and tarp commodities utilizing two sizes of tarps:
