Love’s Travel Stops & Country Stores is extending its $2 per hour pay increase through June 2.
In addition, sick pay related to COVID-19 is extended through July 31, and free employee meals for all hourly store employees are extended through May.
The company has also announced a new $200 bonus will be given to team members who work the month of June. Customer-facing hourly employees at Love’s-owned hotels, Speedco and Love’s Truck Care are included.
“Our team members continue to work hard to help get professional truck drivers back on the road quickly,” said Jenny Love Meyer, executive vice president and chief culture officer of Love’s. “The importance of their work isn’t going unnoticed by us or by our customers. We’ll continue to support them as they support those who are delivering essential goods across the country.”
The company first announced COVID-19 related benefits in March and then announced an extension in April.
