The PAM Referral Process
How to earn $1,500 for each driver you refer
About PAM’s Driver Referral Program
PAM Transport offers one of the most generous referral programs in the trucking industry. As a current PAM driver, I can help you understand how the program works and how to maximize your referral bonuses.
$1,500 Per Referral
Earn $1,500 for each qualified driver you refer who completes the hiring process and stays with PAM for the qualifying period.
Quarterly Contest
Top referrers each quarter compete for additional cash prizes, with the top referrer earning an extra $2,500 bonus!
No Limit
There’s no cap on how many drivers you can refer. The more qualified drivers you refer, the more you earn!
The PAM referral program is designed to reward drivers who help bring quality candidates to the company. It’s a win-win situation: you earn substantial bonuses, your referrals get a great job with a solid company, and PAM gains qualified drivers who come recommended by their current team members.
How The Referral Process Works
Four simple steps to earn your $1,500 bonus
1. Submit Your Referral
Complete the referral form on this site with your information and your referral’s details. Make sure all information is accurate and complete.
2. PAM Contacts Your Referral
A PAM recruiter will reach out to your referral within 1-2 business days to discuss opportunities and begin the application process.
3. Referral Completes Hiring Process
Your referral completes the application, orientation, and begins working with PAM Transport. You’ll receive updates on their progress.
4. You Receive Your Bonus
Once your referral completes the qualifying period (typically 90 days of employment), your $1,500 bonus is processed and paid on your next paycheck.

To qualify for the $1,500 bonus, your referral must complete the hiring process and remain employed with PAM for the qualifying period (typically 90 days). The referral must list your name and driver code on their initial application or be submitted through this referral site.
For the quarterly contest, all successful referrals during the calendar quarter are counted. The driver with the most successful referrals in that quarter receives the additional $2,500 bonus.
Referral Success Stories
Mark T.
“I referred my former co-worker from another company. He was struggling with inconsistent miles and poor home time. Since joining PAM, he’s averaging 2,800 miles weekly and getting home regularly. I earned $1,500, and he’s much happier with his career.”
Sarah J.
“I referred three drivers in one quarter and won the quarterly contest! Between the regular referral bonuses and the contest prize, I earned $7,000 in extra income. It was like getting a second paycheck just for telling people about a company I already recommend.”
David R.
“I referred my neighbor who was interested in getting his CDL. PAM’s training program got him licensed and on the road. He’s now earning good money, and I received my referral bonus. It’s great to help someone start a new career and get rewarded for it.”
