    Why would any good company offer a new driver a sign on bonus?

    And if you are hoping for a sudden payout of cash up front, it doesn't work that way.

    I've seen a couple that do, but didn't note the names. Very small bonus such as $1500 or $2000 paid out over several months.

    I think with the labor pool (drivers) being so saturated and having the better drivers being turned down regularly, the signing bonus is gone and not returning for a while.

    When a company offers a "sign-on" bonus, the really mean a "retention" bonus. You will see it in payments over a specified period of time, as long as you stay there. Few if any are really sign on bonuses.

    When I had multiple terminals; the chicago area location had a big percentage of guys who stayed 7 - 8 months shopping for the biggest bonus to grab next after receiving our 6 month payout.

    The current times are not favorable to sign on bonuses, unless u r in chicago
