OTP Program
GP Transco introduced a new program, called OTP, which stands for Outstanding Trucking Professionals. The program gives company drivers an opportunity to earn more through this revenue sharing program.

In order to qualify for the program, drivers must meet and maintain the following requirements:
- On-time deliveries
- Proper communication
- Proper maintenance
- Attendance and HOS utilization
- Professional behavior and attitude
- Safety-first attitude
Those who qualify for OTP will receive an additional 6cpm. Drivers are reviewed every six months, and if they qualify for the program at least 75%, they will get an additional 1cpm added to their OTP earnings. The additional earnings can really increase the driver’s yearly salary.
Some drivers earn an additional $9,000 or more through the program each year.
According to GP Transco, about half of their drivers receive OTP in any given week, so there is ample opportunity to earn more through diligence and commitment to your work.
