How Much Does Payroll Cost for Trucking Companies?

A Guide to the Cost of Payroll with Superior Trucking Payroll Service

If you’re managing a trucking company, you know how crucial it is to get payroll right. Hidden fees and complicated processes from national providers can be frustrating and costly.

At Superior Trucking Payroll Service, we specialize in transparent, all-inclusive payroll solutions tailored to the unique needs of truck drivers. Our goal is to simplify your payroll process, ensuring no surprises and no extra fees.

In this guide, we’ll break down all the costs involved in our payroll services, from weekly fees to one-time setup charges and additional fees, so you can see exactly what to expect.

Our comprehensive service includes: 

Plus, there is no additional charge for adding new hires!

Detailed Breakdown of Payroll Service Fees at Superior Trucking Payroll Service

Let’s consider a 2-person weekly payroll, where our service fee stands at only $45 per week. With each additional payee added to your payroll, there’s a mere $5.00 increment in the service fee, for up to 10 individuals.

Once your payroll exceeds 10 payees, the amount per individual decreases. This scalable approach ensures that as your team grows, the cost per employee reduces, making it both flexible and cost-effective.

For those with more than 10 individuals on their payroll, we encourage you to reach out to us directly or to utilize our Price Estimator for tailored pricing. We’re here to accommodate your growing team and ensure our services align with your evolving needs.

Understanding Our One-Time Setup Fee:

We do have a One-Time Set Up fee that covers database setup and registration for payroll taxes, ensuring a seamless transition to our service. 

This fee starts at $300 and varies based on the number of people on your payroll and the timing of your first payroll run. 

Starting payroll at the beginning of a calendar quarter is the most cost-effective, but we understand that doesn’t always work. First-of-month starts within a quarter and mid-month starts incur higher set-up fees.

Extra Fees You Should Know About?

While we strive to minimize costs, there are occasions when extra fees do apply.

  • Supplemental Payroll Fee: $50 and up

    A minimum charge of $50, varying based on the number of individuals included in the extra payroll run.

  • Next Day Pay Fee: $45 and up

    Triggered when payroll data is submitted the day before deposits are expected. Rates escalate based on the time of data submission.

  • Same Day Deposits: $10 and up per account

    When a client submits data on the day of the expected deposit. Regular service fee plus an extra $10 per account deposited into.

  • Missing Payroll Fee: $15

    When payroll cannot be processed for a week or more. $15 charge covers necessary tax filings to maintain compliance.

  • Reversal Fee: $75

    $75 fee for reversing an overpayment or incorrect payment.
