Generally speaking you will be paid to your intended destination.
The payroll payments will be processed on the last week day immediately preceding the regular pay date. For example if the 15th falls on a Sunday you will receive your pay cheque or direct deposit on the Friday preceding the 15th.
All “on road” expenses are to be recorded and submitted along with receipts attached to your trip reports. Expenses require prior approval from dispatch. You will receive a cheque or direct deposit for approved expenses incurred during the payroll period along with your pay cheque.

Advances will be deducted in the payroll period in which they are drawn.

Document Faq’s
- Trip reports are the source of information for several accounting systems:
- Information regarding mileages, border crossings and highways is used to determine the fuel tax that our company must pay to each province and state that we travel through.
- Our payroll department use the reports to verify that drivers are being paid correctly for work they have completed.
- This is the form on which expense claims are submitted for reimbursement.
All original documents must be submitted to the office within 24 hours of your return to Saskatoon.
- A bill of lading is a type of document that is used to acknowledge the receipt of a shipment of goods. A transportation company or carrier typically issues this document to a shipper. In addition to acknowledging the receipt of goods, the document indicates the particular vessel on which the goods have been placed, their intended destination and the terms for transporting the shipment to its final destination. It also includes a description of the goods that are being shipped, the weight and the other shipping details.
- This document along with the customer’s bills are critical for the company to get paid for the transportation of goods.
- POD is an acronym for “proof of delivery”. The proof of delivery generally includes the JBM and shipper’s BOL as well as the customer’s bills signed by the individual that has received the goods at destination.
- It is the drivers responsibility to ensure the receiver has signed and dated the BOL and must legibly print the name of the individual that has signed for receipt of the goods.
