Quantix plans to roll out targeted pay increases in its plastics and liquid chemical divisions beginning this month.
The company, formerly known as A&R Logistics, says the initiative marks the largest driver compensation change in its history, totaling more than $30 million.
This increase allows Quantix to stabilize and grow its driver base, while continuing to meet the needs of customers. Over the last year, Quantix has invested heavily in transportation equipment, benefit and compensation packages, and bonus programs, the company said. These investments in people and equipment are key pillars driving its strategy.
“Drivers are the cornerstone of Quantix, and they deserve to be recognized with an industry-leading compensation package,” said Chris Ball, Quantix president and CEO. “This increase allows us to attract and retain best-in-class drivers and continue to provide exceptional service and delivery to our customers.”
Over the last year, Quantix acquired three additional transportation companies, expanding its fleet of specialized assets and footprint across the U.S. Quantix now has more than 5,000 pieces of equipment at more than 40 facilities.
Overall, this is the company’s fourth driver pay increase since 2017. It also reported pay raises in 2018 and 2020.
